The rocket successfully lifted off and even reused a booster, marking a technical milestone, but the mission’s main objective collapsed when a commercial communications satellite was delivered into the wrong orbit. The result was a costly loss for the customer and a serious setback for the launch program. The satellite, built for next-generation communications coverage, was deployed too low to remain operational.
