"#VirginOrbit narrows down cause of #LauncherOne failure"

".. still premature to formally declare the root cause of the failed Jan. 9 flight of the company’s LauncherOne rocket .."

".. filter that was clearly there when we assembled the rocket but was not there as the second stage engine started, meaning it was dislodged and caused mischief downstream,"

"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.

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.

That was a most underwhelming rocket launch. Hopeless presentation quality. Filmed on a potato and accompanied by muzak. Mission control looked like a portacabin. Rocket has of course disappeared. But at least there were burger vans for the folks who ventured to Newquay. It couldn’t get any more British… #UKLaunch #VirginOrbit #StartMeUp #CosmicGirl

Gutted for the boys and girls who worked so hard on this.

The launch of the Virgin Orbit rocket by Cosmic Girl from Spaceport Cornwall all seems very on brand for the place I grew up in.

I don't want to rotoscope anything else in the nearby future.
