Electron Flight 41 | We Will Never Desert You
We Will Never Desert You was intended to deploy Capella Space's second Acadia synthetic-aperture-radar satellite. After nominal first-stage flight and separation, an unexpected electrical arc in the second stage's high-voltage power-supply system shorted its battery packs; the stage lost power before reaching orbital velocity and the payload was lost.
