ABL Space Systems says it lost its second RS1 rocket after a static-fire test.

The company says a fire broke out under the vehicle fed by leaking fuel that could not be extinguished.

The launch pad the company uses at Kodiak does not have its own water supply, with the company instead using mobile tanks that ran out of water 11 and a half minutes after ignition.
