First launch by Astra from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NASA Venture Class Launch Services 2 (VCLS 2) Mission One, officially known as VCLS Demo-2A.[45] The ELaNa 41 mission, consisting of four CubeSats, was manifested on this flight.[46] Launch was the first approved via an FAA Part 450 launch license.[47] An anomaly occurred around second stage ignition, resulting in a loss of mission; the failure was later found to have been caused by a wiring error in the separation mechanism and a software flaw in the thrust vector system.[48] | ||||||||
