The term you’re looking for is RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly). Cheers!

Relativity Space will launch its first 3D printer-made rocket from the space station on Wednesday.
The Relativity Space launcher Terran 1 will try to become the first 3D-printed rocket to reach space when it blasts off Wednesday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

So, which is it? Or did the author mean to say 'Space Force Station' in the first sentence? It seems to indicate the ISS.
