NASA's experimental moon lander has crashed and burst into flames, seconds after take-off.
The United States space agency says the Project Morpheus lander prototype lifted off successfully, but failed its first autonomous free-flight test at the Kennedy Space Centre.
No-one was injured in the incident.
NASA says its engineers are examining test data to determine the cause of the failure.
Morpheus, is powered by environmentally friendly fuels and designed to carry cargo to the moon, asteroids and other surfaces in outer space.
