A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying an uncrewed capsule filled with supplies for the International Space Station appears to have disintegrated shortly after launch on Sunday.

The rocket's flight seemed normal when it took off from the launch pad in good weather, but shortly after taking to the skies, it broke apart in mid-air, according to NASA. SpaceX is in the process of assembling a team to "put together what we do know at this point," NASA spokesman George Diller said during a NASA TV webcast. Mission controllers lost contact with the Falcon 9 a little more than two minutes after launch.

"At this point, it's not exactly clear to the launch team what happened," Diller added.

This marks the Falcon 9's first failure in 19 launches.
