2019-06-04 | Northrop Grumman has nozzle nightmare, Soyuz brushes off lightning, and updates on Crew Dragon 'anomaly' probe • The Register

'Roundup Last week NASA finally issued an update on the SpaceX Crew Dragon anomaly while Northrop Grumman enjoyed one all of its very own. '

'Northrop Grumman experienced "something strange" with the nozzle of the CASTOR 600 first stage of its upcoming OmegA rocket during a test firing last week. '

'SpaceX had planned to use the Crew Dragon from the successful Demo-1 mission to the ISS to demo the abort system. ', "However, things did no go entirely to plan as the rocket's nozzle appeared to disintegrate towards the end of the burn, sending fragments flying."

'Northrop Grumman played down the incident, trumpeting a successful test with only an "observation noted" in relation to bits of the nozzle, er, no longer attached to the booster. '
