US company Rocket Lab loses control of a rocket in space .. Do we worry?
Of the 20 previous Rocket Lab launches, 17 have succeeded and 3 have failed.
#RocketLab, the US space science company, has announced the loss of one of its electronic missiles, after a failed launch
The company #RocketLab announced through its official account on "# Twitter", that the first part of the missile launched as planned, but during the second stage of ignition, the engine was cut off, and the missile failed to reach its intended orbit.
The company added, "The missile was carrying two satellites belonging to a company that works in the field of satellites."
And the company added in a subsequent tweet, that "a team of specialists is currently working on identifying the problem and correcting it for the safe return of the missile without causing any harm to the population on the planet Earth or the special launch or recovery crews."
The New Zealand-based company reassured skeptics of its ability to control the missile it lost, saying, "The missile will be recovered as planned and the whole thing does not need any concern."
The company coordinates with the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate the causes of the missile anomaly, to determine the root cause of this deviation, and to avoid that problem in the future.
