The Orbiter SN-3 spacecraft spun out of control shortly after deployment, making it two failed missions for space company Launcher.

Without the ability to draw power from its solar panels, the Launcher team shut down non-critical systems aboard Orbiter SN3 in a bid to preserve the spacecraft's battery. "Unfortunately [though], the state of charge of the spacecraft slowly decreased and contact with Orbiter SN3 was eventually lost," Launcher explained in its statement.

"While achieving many mission objectives and improvements from our first Orbiter mission, unfortunately, we will not be able to serve as a docking target for Starfish Space's Otter Pup. We would like to sincerely apologize to our customers and their teams, partners and end customers for this mission degradation," Launcher wrote in its statement.
