When a Dream
Disintegrated in a Fiery Plume

In 2015, SpaceX's Falcon 9 CRS-7 mission ended in disaster shortly after launch. A structural failure, compounded by software limitations, led to the rocket's destruction. Incident Drill provides a safe environment to dissect this incident and prepare your team for similar high-stakes scenarios.

The High Cost of Unpreparedness

Incidents like the CRS-7 launch failure highlight the critical need for robust engineering and software validation. Teams often lack the experience to effectively troubleshoot under pressure, leading to delayed response times, missed critical signals, and increased costs. Without practice, even well-intentioned software can exacerbate a crisis.
