depend on! ESA and the American startup Astra launched their first launch in 2022 at about the same time, but the results were different, soyuz successfully launched 34 Oneweb satellites, and after two or three hours of flight, all of them were smoothly separated from the frigate Bird-M class.
Astra's rocket 3.3 is not so smooth, originally planned to be launched the day before yesterday, but due to the weather, telemetry and other delays, or can not avoid the launch failure, ignition three minutes after lift-off, telemetry signal is completely lost, by Scott Manley analysis, the fairing is suspected of separation failure, the secondary engine ignition after the gas pressure will be the fairing burst, the second stage with the load rushed out of the attitude out of control ... This mission is the company's first launch in 2022 (and the company's first failure in 2022), the 9th launch of the United States in 2022, the first failure of the United States in 2022, and the company's fourth failed launch into orbit!!
