San Francisco, June 27: American aerospace company Launcher슬롯사이트™s Orbiter spacecraft experienced a software anomaly and lost another of its vehicle following a successful liftoff.

Orbiter SN3 was designed to carry smaller satellites such as CubeSats and place them into their proper orbits after separating from its launch vehicle.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천NASA Calls Off X-57 Flight Plan Over Safety Concerns: Anomaly Discovered in Propulsion System of All-Electric Aircraft.

The spacecraft which launched successfully on a SpaceX Falcon 9 on June 12, soon fell into an uncontrollable rotation following separation from its launch vehicle.

슬롯사이트œUnfortunately, the initial set of telemetry received indicated that the vehicle was experiencing an anomaly in which a high rate of rotation was imparted on the vehicle from its onboard attitude control system,슬롯사이트� the company said in a statement.

In addition, Orbiter faced critically low fuel and battery levels, because the craft's rotation prevented its solar panels from receiving the necessary sunlight to maintain power.

This forced the company to deploy customer payloads earlier than scheduled, rather than risk non-deployment, Launcher said.

The spacecraft carried the payloads of three separate customers -- Starfish Space슬롯사이트™s Otter Pup demo satellite, CubeSats from Innova Space and TRL11, a space startup developing video for in-space applications.

The company said that all three customers confirmed contact with their spacecraft.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜You슬롯사이트™ve Never Seen Mars Like This슬롯사이트�: NASA슬롯사이트™s MAVEN Spacecraft Captures UV Images of Mars, Breathtaking Images of the Red Planet Go Viral.

But due to early deployment Starfish슬롯사이트™s Otter Pup demo satellite faced high rotation, which meant that SN3 슬롯사이트œwill not be able to serve as a docking target for Starfish Space's Otter Pup슬롯사이트�, it added.

To save Orbiter SN3, Launcher commanded the shutdown of all non-critical vehicle systems in an attempt to put the vehicle in a net power-positive state.

The vehicle complied but remained slightly power negative. Unfortunately, the state of charge of the spacecraft slowly decreased and contact with Orbiter SN3 was eventually lost.

The team continues to attempt contact with the vehicle in the event of a recovery, the company said.

슬롯사이트œWe would like to sincerely apologise to our customers and their teams, partners and end customers for this mission degradation." After analysis, Launcher said the root cause of the anomaly seems to have been a software issue.

"We have begun the implementation of corrective action to ensure this anomaly does not occur again on future missions and that the vehicle is more robust to this type of error," the company said. SN3 was Launcher's second Orbiter spacecraft to launch into space.

Earlier in February, the company lost its first spacecraft, SN1, when it suffered an orientation control issue that prevented it from generating enough power after launching it aboard SpaceX's Transporter-6 mission.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Water Recovered From Urine and Sweat on ISS Video: NASA Achieves New Milestone on International Space Station, Recovers Water From Astronauts' Pee and Sweat.

Orbiter's next flight will be SN5 and is scheduled for a February 2024 launch as part of SpaceX's Transporter-10 mission. Launcher also indicated two additional flights scheduled to take place sometime next year.
