description
At ignition, the motor casing shot forward, punching through the aft bulkhead and disappeared downrange. The vehicle never left the pad, but the bulkhead, avbay, and nose assembley separated from the sustainer and fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, the thrust ring was found detached and still in the rocket sustainer, along with the retainer hardware.
