A SpaceX Starship test flight encountered issues in orbit on Tuesday, spinning out of control shortly before its expected splashdown.
The spinning was caused by fuel leaks on board the rocket, which eventually broke up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
"Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly", SpaceX wrote in a post on X.
It comes after two previous test flights resulted in failures.
