Explosion Destroyed Facebook's First Satellite See What Mark Zuckerberg Said by weblord1900: 9:15pm On Sep 01, 2016 |
A major explosion during a SpaceX prelaunch test Thursday destroyed Facebook's first satellite. The satellite, AMOS-6, was a project of Facebook's Internet.org program to deliver internet to the developing world. It was intended to ride a SpaceX Falcon 9 into orbit this Saturday, and would have been the first satellite the internet giant put in orbit. It was valued at approximately $200 million, according to spaceflight now. The rocket on the launchpad when an explosion rocked Cape Canaveral, Florida, was a Falcon 9.
