Payload Details

Build on a satellite bus from Terran Orbital, the satellite provides technology demonstration for an electronically-steerable antennae.

Launch Outcome

Partially Successful Launch

Initial launch was completed successfully, lofting the second-stage into the initial orbit. Second-stage re-light did not occur, however, resulting in the payload not reaching its intended final orbit. After several months, the orbit of the payload decayed and was lost.
