Summary
| Description |
English:
An attempt to launch a
Juno II
rocket from
Launch Complex 5
at the
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
(serial number
AM-16
) fails spectacularly, as a short circuit of the power supply to the launch vehicle's guidance system causes the rocket to tilt dramatically westward immediately after launch. Five-and-a-half seconds later, the vehicle was destroyed by
Range safety
, along with the
S-1
satellite aboard.
