Underperforming rocket? Happens to one in five new rockets.
What a weird headline. It reads like they just bungled something, like whoopsie, we put it in the wrong place!
(the second stage booster actually didn’t fire properly so didn’t get the satellite up to a high enough orbit. IT was a technical issue)
Not just „in the wrong orbit“, in an orbit where the satellite is junk and has to be deorbited. It’s a total loss and a mission failure.
Ah, that can’t really make much of a difference, I’d wager. As long as it’s circling the earth, it’s gotta be at least 75% effective.
5 out of 7, perfect launch.

Not just any customer, this was an important payload for AST space mobile (ASTS)
Not the first time Jeff Bezos spectacularly misdelivered a package.

The correct orbit is for closers.
Based on your return would you recommend us again.
I bought stock in the company that launched the satellite. Fun to see my portfolio drop on a Sunday lol
To be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
The launch coverage showed almost nothing of the 2nd stage after the first stage began its return.
First stage still a huge success. But it’s the second stage that really is the moneymaker. Gotta do better.
April 16: Amazon announces the $11.6B acquisition of Globalstar, through which they will fast-track a fleet of 54 modern, direct-to-device satellites.
April 19: Blue Origin rocket suffers a failure that strands ASTS’s flagship satellite (BlueBird 7) in useless orbit.
