Sad news from Firefly Aerospace:
Today, Firefly’s Alpha launch had a successful liftoff & progressed seamlessly through each stage of flight, including MECO, stage separation, fairing separation and the first SECO. Alpha’s scheduled stage 2 engine relight did not deliver the payload to its precise target orbit. Communications to the spacecraft has been established and mission operations are now underway.
All might not be lost though. With the satellite stable, and comms established, perhaps there’s still room for the customer (Lockheed-Martin) to realize some (or all) of the mission goals. We’ll see.
