Falcon 9 - Crew Dragon In Flight Abort Test
Launch date:
Launch site: KSC LC 39A
Payloads
Name: Crew Dragon In Flight Abort Test
Customers: NASA (CCtCap)
Type: Crew Dragon
Orbit: SO
Rocket
Name: Falcon 9
Version: FT
Cores
Serial: B1046
Block: 5
Flight-proven: Yes
Flying expendable
Details
SpaceX will launch a Crew Dragon capsule from LC-39A, KSC on a fully fueled Falcon 9 rocket and then trigger the launch escape system during the period of maximum dynamic pressure. As part of NASA'a Commercial Crew Integrated Capability program (CCiCap) this test will contribute valuable data to help validate Crew Dragon and its launch abort system. The Crew Dragon will be recovered by GO Searcher after splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. This flight does not go to orbit. The booster and upper stage are expected to break up following capsule separation and there will be no landing attempt.

Replay of explosion
ABORT! Through a tiny hole in the clouds, I managed to catch the abort and subsequent explosion! RIP B1046.

Elon Musk talking about Starship after the In-Flight Abort Press Conference.
Elon ended up holding a kind of impromptu mini-press conference after the main press conference where he talked a little more about Starship and Raptor!
Sorry about the audio, it was just shot on my phone on a whim. Thanks for watching!
