The Kairos rocket, developed by Space One, faced a catastrophic failure shortly after its launch on Thursday, exploding just 69 seconds into flight.

The rocket, standing at 18 meters tall, was carrying five experimental satellites when it self-destructed at an altitude of 29 kilometers over the Pacific Ocean.
