RE: https://mastodon.social/@europeanspaceflight/116555472841414967
🇮🇹 Air-launched systems have had a complicated history. #Pegasus and #VirginOrbit’s #LauncherOne neither achieved commercial sustainability. Pegasus suffered a sharp decline in its launch cadence as customers migrated to lower-cost rideshare alternatives, and Virgin Orbit entered bankruptcy in 2023 after only six flights.

"At an altitude of approximately 180 km, the upper stage experienced an anomaly. This anomaly prematurely ended the first burn of the upper stage. This event ended the mission." This doesn't really tell us anything new does it? 🤷♂️ The cautionary statement regarding forward looking statements is longer than the actual press release.

Why does the press have to be so negative about #LauncherOne anomaly? It happens. How about boosting the moral of the people who've worked hard on it and having pride that we now have a space center in the UK?

«"Recibimos la señal a las 23:16 horas UTC y a las 23:18:44 se perdió la comunicación", dijo el responsable de operaciones, que añadió que la señal fue detectada por una de las antenas más grande que tiene el centro espacial, de 15 metros de superficie».

The reentry of the #LauncherOne from #VirginOrbit's #Cornwall lauch was recorded by a meteor camera on Lanzarote: the analysis https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-reentry-of-second-stage-of.html now demonstrates that the rocket's second stage had burned for a while but not enough to lift it and the nine satellites into orbit. From Virgin there is only the statement https://virginorbit.com/the-latest/historic-uk-mission-reaches-space-falls-short-of-orbit/ so far, perhaps the video helps in finding the cause of the stage's failure.

Well, based on other people's comments elsewhere, I've reviewed the webcast for the #LauncherOne #StartMeUp failure. And I noticed a fatal bug on the telemetry screen.
@VirginOrbit has generously provided data on fuel amount, line pressure, voltage etc. & sth fishy does show up.

The first attempt to launch satellites from the UK using Virgin Orbit's Cosmic Girl ended in failure as the second stage did not perform as planned. This video from a fixed camera on the Canaries shows the reentry.

So #LauncherOne failed to reach orbit. They went from “Start Me Up” to “I can’t get no Satisfaction” in one night. #VirginOrbit

🇬🇧 #UK #SpaceAgency said the second stage of the #launch suffered an “anomaly”, which the cause of was under investigation.
“In effect the #rocket has not reached the required altitude to maintain its #orbit or deploy the #satellites and therefore the mission was unsuccessful,” https://www.independent.co.uk/space/atlantic-ocean-virgin-orbit-virgin-atlantic-government-uk-space-agency-b2259118.html
