Unfortunately, today, at about 22:25 Moscow time, the main engine of the vehicle failed during landing, and therefore the braking maneuver was not completed to the end. β€œWe had an engine failure. Unfortunately, we were not able to land successfully,” admitted Ofer Doron, one of the project coordinators.
