Failure
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.
Mission
This is the first launch of RS1 launch vehicle developed and built by ABL Space Systems. This launch carries two satellites for OmniTeq.
