Summary

Description
English: Failed launch of the Mercury-Redstone 1 launch vehicle. While the booster umbilical is still falling toward the ground, an electrical fault causes the booster's engine to shut down and triggers the Mercury capsule's escape rocket to jettison itself. The booster rises only 4 inches before settling back onto the pad, and the capsule remains attached to the booster. (Note this photo is misdated and misidentified in NASA's photo archives.)
Polski: Podczas gdy odłączony przewód startowy (plugs out) statku kosmicznego ciągle opada na ziemię, elektryczne błędy spowodowały wyłączenie silnika rakiety nośnej i zapłon silników (Tower Jettison Motor) odrzucających Startowy System Ucieczkowy (LES). Silniki rakietowe podniosły rakietę nośną o 4 cale, po czym rakieta nośna utknęła ponownie na stanowisku startowym, a kapsuła pozostała nadal połączona z rakietą nośną. LES nie opuścił kapsuły ponieważ nie nastąpiło rozłączenie kapsuły z jej żaroodporną pokrywą
