US-SPACE-ACCIDENT
This handout file image obtained October 31, 2014, courtesy of NASA and Mars Scientific/Clay Center Observatory shows SpaceShipTwo as it completed its second powered flight on September 5,2013 over the Mojave desert. Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo craft suffered an "anomaly" during a test flight over California on October 31, 2014, the commercial space flight operator announced on its Twitter feed. The craft, which is still in its test phase and which normally carries two pilots, had been carried aloft on a bigger aircraft known as WhiteKnightTwo and then released for a test of its rocket engine. The fate of the crew was not immediately known. "SpaceShipTwo has experienced an in-flight anomaly. Additional info and statement forthcoming," Virgin said, giving no further details. This image was taken by MARS Scientific as part of the Mobile Aerospace Reconnaissance System optical tracking system.
