Hmm...I'm not sure the old leadership can keep VO going for long, but who knows...

failure : “Everything points to a 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.This is like a $100 part that took us out.” spacenews.com/virgin-orbit-nar

"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? 🤷‍♂️

Why does the press have to be so negative about 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?

Eerste lancering vanuit Engeland mislukt

De allereerste orbitale missie die vanuit het Verenigd Koninkrijk werd gelanceerd is niet volgens plan verlopen. Die lancering, de “Start Me Up”-missie van Virgin Orbit ging goed van start. Het vliegtuig dat de raket droeg, Cosmic Girl geheten, vertrek volgens schema op maandag 23:02 uur Nederlandse tijd vanaf Spaceport Cornwall.

The reentry of the from 's lauch was recorded by a meteor camera on Lanzarote: the analysis sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2023/ 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 virginorbit.com/the-latest/his 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 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.
