Higher-resolution satellite imagery reveals more information about Deep Blue Aerospace's "possible" VTVL test. Based on the image date, we can determine that the test occurred around July 31st. Satellite imagery shows that the rocket "probably" exploded approximately 630 meters from the launch pad, with a "possible" explosion area of approximately 13,000 square meters. The rocket "probably" deviated from its planned flight path eastward, rather than southwest of the recovery pad. Therefore, we infer a problem with its control system. Furthermore, based on the high density observed in the "suspected" explosion area, we believe the FTS likely failed to trigger, and the rocket exploded after impact, with the relevant systems failing to achieve the intended purpose of a controlled failure test (possibly a violation of the regulations regarding private spaceflight issued on July 16th). We also hope that Deep Blue Aerospace will issue a statement explaining the situation, demonstrating the openness and positivity of private spaceflight. If the Nebula-1 VTVL test did not fail, we will remove the relevant information and apologize.
