Trouble at SpaceX? Did the New Falcon 9 Explode?
A report surfaced today indicating there is reason to believe the new Falcon 9 exploded after delivering it payloads safely to orbit on September 28th. Here’s an excerpt:
On September 28, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandeberg AFB carrying Canada’s Cassiope satellite and five smaller payloads (representing six satellites as two of them were joined together to be separated later when on-orbit). Soon after launch SpaceX said the satellites had been released, and the owners of Cassiope and DANDE reported establishment of communications with their satellites. Payload separation seemed to go well.
Normally, SpaceTrack would expect to be listing the six released satellite combinations, the rocket body and maybe a couple of debris items. A few hours after launch, the catalogue was showing 20 items in a scatter of orbit, indicating an explosion.
One of the satellites may be the suspect but the most likely culprit is SpaceX’s Falcon 9. It seems to have suffered some kind of failure after the payloads departed.
[As scatter in apogee and perigee] shows that there was explosive force involved rather than a gentle disintegration. The cross [in the chart] indicates the target orbit and the fragments’ orbits are scattered fairly evenly around it.
