A European company trying to improve orbital spacecraft For cargoes, and finally people, walked forward this week with an attempted flying possible mission of this possible vehicle power and flying successfully in the land orbit of the earth on the ground.
However, after meeting an “issue,” the exploration company has lost contact in this spacecraft a few minutes before touchdown in the ocean.
In an update on Tuesday morning on LinkedIn, the company describes the flight of the test as a partial success – and a partial failure.
“The capsule has been launched successfully, drilling the nominally orbiting, strengthening himself after the launcher separation, reestable and rebuilt and rebuilt after inch applict,” The company said in a statement. “We still investigate the reason for the reason and share more information. We apologize to all our clients who give us their peas.”
It may be parachutes
Reconstruction of spacecraft communications after blackout period suggests that the vehicle has gained the most challenging of real estate and may validate the highest heating spacecraft.
Following it, according to Company timeline For mission possible, the parachutes in capsule due to deploy at a speed at a speed between Mach 0.8 and Mach 0.6. Parachutes are selected for their “proven legacy of flight,” as the company, and obtained from US airborne systems using the paratus used by the Spacex dragon, and other spacecraft.
Given when spacecraft disappears, it seems likely to have a drogue deployment problem or primary parachutes.
The mission possible is a 2.5-meter vehicle of a larger payload launched on Monday afternoon in the Spacex’s Transporter 14 mission from the Vandenberg Space Force based in California. The mission is trying to try out four main spaces of the SpaceFlight: Structure performance of the orbital flight, remaining reentry, autonomous navigation, and repairing world situations. It clearly fails in this final task, to recover the car within three days to return to the customers’ pampures.
Meeting an aggressive timeline
It is fun to have a clear and short communication from a space company, especially recognition that a flight is a partial failure, within many hours of launch. And no wonder there are technical challenges in a vehicle combined faster and a small cost.
on An interview with ARS In November, the founder of the exploration company, Hélène Huby, said the mission possible with $ 20 million, in addition to the Rideshare launch of Falcon 9 Rocket.
At this time, he said the mission possible is to track the launch of this summer, and the company met this timeline.
Due to the potential issues of parachute system or other problems that are close to the company, can fly the subscale company in progress throughout NYX cargo spacecraft.
