← Flight 25
Flight 27 →
Falcon 9 flight 26 was the 26th Falcon 9 space launch by SpaceX, which launched both ABS's ABS-2A and Eutelsat's Eutelsat 117 West B (formerly Satmex 9) to geostationary transfer orbit, that occurred on 15 June 2016 at 14:29 UTC (10:29am local time).[1]
After the launch, the first stage of the Falcon 9 experienced a hard landing and failed to land successfully on the deck of the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Atlantic Ocean.[2] The landing failed due to low thrust on one of the three engines during the landing burn; as the rocket stage was about to land on the deck, the engines ran out of oxidizer.[3]
