"After liftoff, RS1 experienced an anomaly and shut down prematurely. The team is working through our anomaly response procedures in coordination with PSCA and the FAA." - ABL via Twitter

This was the first time ABL's RS-1 rocket had left the pad, a major step forward after months of delays.

"This is not the outcome we were hoping for today, but one that we prepared for. We'll revert with additional information when available. Thanks to all for the support." - ABL via Twitter
