      TLDR: Satellite fell off of the rocket shortly before the second stage lit. Rocket kept flying to space, leaving the satellite behind. Satellite crashed in the same impact area as the discarded first stage. Investigation still ongoing before another H3 rocket can be launched.

      Also, the illustration from Japan’s space agency detailing the incident is hilariously simple and straight to the point.

      I remember Clear Usui’s coverage of this incident when it happened. Sad about the incident but at least they found the root cause of it now.

      Not saying it wasn’t safe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

      The front fell off. Not supposed to do that.

      They are a bit puzzled on exactly what exactly caused the satellite to get loose after they ejected the farings. New stage ignition then caused the damaged segments to fail and the uneven forces on the now tilted satellite caused it to fall off. O2 tank was also damaged in the events.
