The tenth prototype of the SpaceX spacecraft, known as the SN10, took off during a night test flight (Wednesday-Thursday) in Boca Chica, Texas and exploded three minutes after landing.

This is the third time the company's spacecraft has exploded.

It should be noted that in previous times the explosion occurred during the landing.

It is not clear what caused the spacecraft to explode after landing, and the live broadcast of SpaceX from the launch site ended before the flare-up - when company officials were confident the experiment was successful.

The last time a SpaceX spacecraft exploded was in early February.

For billionaire Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, this is a partial success.

In response to a tweet that grinned at the crash, Musk replied: "The late SN10, respectable launch."

According to SpaceX's design, the final model of the spacecraft should be about 120 meters high.

The rocket's prototype model was built of stainless steel, and is actually a new version of the missile that Musk unveiled last year.

The company is developing the rockets in order to reach Mars.
