The first stage of Rocket Factory Augsburg's RFA One rocket was destroyed during a test-firing at SaxaVord Spaceport, marking a significant setback for the startup.
An anomaly led to the loss of the first stage during a test with all nine engines, with a dramatic fireball erupting as it ignited.
Despite the setback, Rocket Factory Augsburg emphasized that no one was injured, and the launch pad was reported to be saved and secured.
RFA's intention to launch RFA One this year is not diminished by the incident, as the company continues to work closely with authorities to gather data.
