RS1 | Maiden Flight
Status: Failure | Launched: Jan 10, 2023 23:27 UTC
Failure reason: RS1 successfully lifted off and flew nominally for 10.85 seconds until RS1's nine E2 engines as well as other systems on the vehicle shut down simultaneously and communications were lost. ABL believes the cause of failure was a fire in the engine bay of the first stage.
