FAILURE: Space One KAIROS LV second launch - December 18, 2024 (02:00 UTC)

[Steven Pietrobon]

I didn't see anything abnormal at T+33 s.

Burnout at T+1 minutes 30 seconds.

The rocket still seems to be burning at T+1 minute and 33 seconds, with the rocket body at nearly 90 degrees to the flight path!

Did anyone get the name of the fifth satellite on board?

The fifth satellite could be NARIT Cube-1 (NARIT-Cube1) from Thailand by National Astronomical Research Institute, based on Spaceth.co post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14vzk8BP2x/ and article https://spaceth.co/narit-exhibition-with-tcp/.

They had a paper at this years IAC conference but the launcher does not seem to be mentioned https://iafastro.directory/iac/archive/browse/IAC-24/B4/IP/86542/.

I forgot to post this when it happened, but during a local event near the launch site on August 31, Space One representatives have reported that this launch failed after the 1st stage Solid Rocket Motor nozzle's Thrust Vectoring Control system’s pitch sensor started sending erroneous signals. This will be fixed for the next launch with new sensors and some re-design to electrical wire harness locations etc.
