The 18-meter, 23-ton Kairos rocket, carrying a mockup of a government spy satellite, exploded in midair five seconds after launch, with its remains falling onto a nearby mountainous area.
Space One executives said they are investigating the cause of the explosion but remained committed to the startup's goal of undertaking 20 launches per year by the end of 2029 and 30 launches in the 2030s.
