U.K. space industry mulls setback after satellite launch fails
Sverige Senaste nytt,Sverige Rubriker

A mission to launch the first satellites into orbit from Western Europe suffered an “anomaly,” Virgin Orbit says.

The plane released the rocket, carrying nine small satellites for a mix of civilian and domestic uses. But about two hours after the plane took off, the company reported “an anomaly that has prevented us from reaching orbit.”

“This isn’t the first time we’ve been knocked, this is the biggest definitely, but I feel OK and we’ll get up and we’ll go again,” she said. Virgin Orbit chief executive Dan Hart said “a technical failure appears to have prevented us from delivering the final orbit.”
