Electron rocket was lost when reusable first stage separated early this morning
The video feed from the rocket froze followed by silence in the control room."All stations, we have experienced some anomaly. Remain on station and we will investigate," a voice said on the intercom, adding that the team was moving to"action B" – its anomaly plan.
The status of the rocket's first stage, which appeared from the feed and applause from mission control to have separated correctly, hasn't been mentioned. Rocket Labs toldit had nothing specific to add at this stage, though did mention there was no plan to recover the first stage. "The Electron rocket has previously delivered 171 satellites to orbit across 37 successful orbital missions. We will identify the issue swiftly and implement corrective actions and return to the pad shortly," Rocket Lab said.
