Summary
SpX CRS-7 launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on June 28, 2015. The mission failed: Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly at T+ 2min19sec after a support strut failure in the second stage. It was SpaceX's 24th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 5,475th orbital launch attempt. It was the 14th Falcon 9 v1.1 flight and the 6th this year. Booster B1018 flew for the 1st time and its landing at Of Course I Still Love You failed. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft was Dragon C109 (C109).

Spacecraft
Dragon C109 (C109)
This vehicle was intended to deliver the first of two International Docking Adapters to modify the ISS adapters so that they could be used for future commercial crew missions. However the capsule was destroyed when the Falcon 9 launch vehicle failed in flight.
- Destination: International Space Station
- Mission length: under an hour
The Dragon spacecraft was destroyed during a launch failure.

About this launch
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the ninth Dragon spacecraft on the seventh operational cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station as part of the NASA cargo resupply contract. It was meant to deliver the IDA-1 segment of the new ISS International Docking System. The second stage ruptured due to an overpressurization event and the launch vehicle disintegrated at T+139 seconds. According to SpaceX investigation, "Preliminary analysis suggests the overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank was initiated by a flawed piece of support hardware (a “strutâ€) inside the second stage."
