To be fair, it seems they gave up on the webcast before it started.

No updates from Sea Launch since the webcast gave in. Either the PAO is busy with connections at Long Beach, or......

......

...... it could be NSS-8 all over again.

Well we don't know what's going on, so let's just hope we'll get some good news soon.

Even Spaceflight now has no information:

Sea Launch has ended their webcast, but we're not sure why. At this time, the second stage should still be firing and the rocket's aerodynamic nose shroud should have jettisoned.

Well, we know it got to stage 2, so not NSS-8 in terms of pad damage at least... I'm just hoping it's that they are trying to reboot the webcast to fix the earlier problems.

Roger that. Pad looks good.

SFN's Stephen says Sea launch PAO aren't picking up, but I bet they are in Long Beach and probably lost comms too.....although you think they'd have a phone. Might be too busy trying to sort out the webcast, who knows.

Wrong direction of flight, failure of the first stage, the rocket has fallen near platform.

Does it means R.I.P sea launch then?

catdlr · « **Reply #94 on:** 02/01/2013 06:23 am »

hope it didn't hit the command ship

Given that this is their last firm launch contract - possibly.
