Overview
- The launcher lifted off from Brazil’s Alcântara site at 22:13 local time on December 23.
- A malfunction was detected roughly 30 seconds after liftoff, the flight was terminated, and the rocket came down within the planned drop area with no reported damage on the ground.
- Innospace says the hybrid‑engine first stage initially performed as planned and an investigation is analyzing telemetry and video.
- The mission carried five satellites bound for an orbit of about 300 km and was intended to be the company’s first commercial launch after multiple delays.
- The live broadcast stopped after an on‑screen notice of an anomaly, and some reports cited footage that may indicate an explosion, which has not been confirmed.
