Out with a Bang!

During endurance testing for the new Small Orbital Rocket , support structures for the test facility in ISAB Cape Montacia failed, causing catastrophic failure. Tremors from the explosion were picked up on seismometers as far away as Brödmark, with perceptible tremors in La Citadelle. Nobody was injured in the test failure. A spokeswoman from the ISA said “while this failure will cause some delays to the program, the failure is believed to be part of the supporting structure and not the rocket, a full investigation will be carried out before future tests”
