NASA releases summary of investigation into SpaceX’s 2015 launch failure

Quote

NASA’s independent review team that investigated the destruction of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon supply ship shortly after liftoff in June 2015 concluded a design error led to the loss of more than two tons of provisions and equipment heading for the International Space Station.

Engineers from NASA’s Launch Services Program, a group based at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, reviewed telemetry from the doomed flight and compiled an independent report on the launch failure. Under regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration, the government agency which oversees commercial rocket launches by U.S. companies, SpaceX itself was in charge of the primary investigation team.
