The capsule carried cargo including cannabis and human remains, all of which were lost in the crash. As part of a rideshare mission with SpaceX, the Nyx capsule launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base on June 23rd. The next day, after successfully re-entering the atmosphere on June 24th, the capsule crashed into the Pacific Ocean and lost some unexpected cargo: cannabis and human remains. TEC explained in the press release that the spacecraft crashed because the landing parachutes failed to deploy. “We are continuing our journey, eager to implement these learnings in our next vehicle,” Huby said in the press release.
