NASA’s commercial crew program has seen more than its fair share of delays in recent years as both SpaceX and Boeing have had to push back their timelines due to a variety of issues. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon appeared to be making good progress as of late, with an uncrewed flight to the International Space Station earlier this year, but the company hit a bit of a snag when its capsule exploded during a static fire test.
Answers were hard to come by in the wake of the explosion, with SpaceX and NASA both calling it an “anomaly” while they investigated the cause. Now, months later, the company finally says it knows exactly what went wrong.
