We need Scott Manley surgical analysis. Keep on Astra!
Red Robe of Doom incoming
He’s probably in front of the camera now.
I agree with the person below who said it looks like the 2nd stage didn't separate cleanly. I think second engine startup happened while the stages were still in contact, and either something broke or something stayed attached to the second stage that wasn't supposed to.
Looking forward to Scott Manley's analysis too. He seems to always be able to find some detail everyone else (at least, internet commentators) misses.
It appears that the fairings didn’t separate before the second stage was released from the first stage. In fact, you can see when the second stage ignites, it forced the fairings apart and flew out of there like a bat out of hell. Definitely looking forward to Scott’s breakdown!
Prob recording his vid as we speak
looks like someone forgot to check their staging. this sucks, i hope astra gets it right next time, they are working hard and deserve a win.
Once it shows the launch pad again, you can go ahead and skip to 13:30 unless you want to see propellant being exhausted for 10 minutes
Seriously, who the hell edits these? They obviously edited it for 10 minutes of watch time, not giving 2 shits about us, their viewers.
@@jonslg240 No, they probably included the whole video from T - 10sec onwards, for completeness! NASASpaceflight post hour-long videos of Starship prototypes being rolled along the road from the vertical assembly building to the launch pad. They also make edited versions with time lapse and bits cut out. Some people like to watch the long versions and get more sense of what's actually happening. Thanks for the time point though.
They accidentally hit the spacebar twice.
@@jonslg240 hey go edit it yourself and post on your channel if your gonna cry. Lots of us like the long unedited view
@@jonslg240 they just cut away from the failure because they didn’t want people to see it I guess
If you go to 3:14 and watch the fairing it slips off but then gets hung up on something and then when the first stage lit, the exhaust blows the fairing off and causes the first stage to start spinning.
Yeah, their successful launch from two months ago did not have this problem.
I agree, something definitely got stuck on sep
WHAT are you talking about?!?! Fairing separation happens AFTER MECO and SES. That SE was already spinning after MECO, and SES only made it spin faster. WHAT are you talking about the fairings for?! They didn't even reach that point.
It looks like the fairing didn't separate. That shift at 3:18 was supposed to be stage separation, but it looks like the fairing was still attached. The view on the left screen is inside the first stage looking forward towards the second stage and fairing, with the fairing at the top. Notice what parts move and what parts do not. When the 2nd stage lit, it blew off the fairing and started to spin out of control.
@@392redienhcs Did you not watch the video. It did not start spinning until after the fairing was blown off by the upper stage. Watch it again
If such an endeavor were easy many would be doing it. Hats off to the engineers who will be able to analyze the problem and correct it. Wishing you guys much future success!

many are doing it... Astra sux
EVERYBODY with a billion dollars is doing it 🤨
@@cjjenson8212 If I get a billion dollars I WILL be launching some things into space.
1. Going to launch some awesome cameras that stream 24/7 so anybody can see what's going on in the solar system at any time - a few pointed in various directions
2. Going to launch something better than that golden record with abstract symbols on it. I get the point and reasoning behind it, but I really think some kind of multi-media device which shows Earth and all of its people in a way that's improved over a golden record with some etchings in it
3. Going to launch one thing which will actually help science|
But the main thing, all of these launches will require 0 space junk to be created. All fairings, nuts and bolts, and anything that leaves Earth must be accounted for and not end up as ridiculous amounts of reckless space junk like all of these private companies don't seem to care about. In 100 years it will be too dangerous to launch anything without a significant risk of it being shot out of the sky by random junk shooting by.
I feel for everyone involved in "things" like this, so much effort, so many details, so much hope, and so much pain on failure...the ongoing story of the "Space age"...
When I saw the launch pad I new this was going to be a mickey mouse effort.
you should speak more about lack of intelligence and professionality - these are kids playing rocket
Money laundering at its best
@@andrewshortt4665 Most things look like a Mickey Mouse effort relative to huge, established organisations like SpaceX and NASA! But if you knew one thing about business, engineering or rockets you would see that this was no Mickey Mouse effort! You're probably either not finished school yet, or didn't learn much while you were there, so STFU until you know what you're talking about. (Same to the other replies.)
That's why you buy insurance. Expensive but worth it when this happens.
It's almost like it's actual rocket science and it's hard. 🤔
technically it's not rocket science, it's rocket engineering
It's ksp
@@benjaminghazi787 Engineering is using science and scientific knowledge to design and build useful products. So it's both rocket science and rocket engineering. 👍
Almost. 😉
The rocket was fine though 😭😭 It was the little fairing release that failed to separate. 😭😤
To me, it looked like the payload shifted after MECO resulting in an imbalance causing the vehicle to spin after second stage ignition.
The engine can gimbal to account for that, right?
@@johntheux9238 Probably hard to correct if it got too far out of alignment before it could respond by gimbaling. I wouldn't be surprised if this type of control system ran fairly low gains.
Interesting thought. wouldn't that be a quite fundamental thing to get wrong though, or is there some precedent for it with previous flights?
mii747 I did see that too. Perhaps the vibrations broke one or more of the tie downs.
@@johntheux9238 not for spinning on its axis. Gimble can deflect but if its twisting on its axis it takes small rockets set at right angle to stop that. And it's most likely not equipped for such maneuvers.
This was an upper atmosphere failure. The previous launch months ago had the rocket dance around the launchpad before moving upwards. Loss of thrust in one of the engines had it do ballistics instead of reaching orbit. That was fun to watch.
Where's the video of that? I wanna see the dance

Did this launch not entertain you!?
looks like the fairing failed to separate. Then the second stage was released and pushed forward, but it then hit the fairing, instead of separating from the first stage. When the second stage engine ignited, that caused the second stage to rip the fairing off. This likely damaged the second stage, causing it to lose control.
That's what it looked like to me.
That's very likely.
Yup. Saw it hang up when the flairing got caught.
😔

imposter!
Sussy
So sad. Keep going Astra, you're so close.
To my untrained eye it looks like the payload shifted before fairing deployment. May have upset the weight balance.
The 2nd stage fired before separation.
Mustn't speculate. Maybe aliens shot it down? 😉
The thing just didn’t open. You can see at 3:18 when it falls down, it was supposed to open up and separate at that point, but it didn’t. Then the jet fires and blasts the whole shit into oblivion.
Lmao just looking at what the internet scientists have to say🤣,
Our German rocket scientists are better than your greman rocket scientists.
Untrained eye? Apply for a job with Astra (assuming that is just a username and not your biological status)
Well done astra....seeing sucessful launches these days become boring after some time. But you made us remember how space endeavours were in the 2000's
????
Go play KSP if you want space failures.
The GOOD thing that came out of the 2nd stage spinning is that you can CLEARLY see the the earth, is in fact ROUND and NOT flat for the the few people that swear the earth is flat and can supposedly “Prove it”. Camera don’t lie folks. It shows a great view of our round, planet Earth. As well as MANY space x flights.
@RTX3080ti the Earth is of course spherical but the wide angle, fisheye lens is why you are seeing it so round. I'm not disputing a globe Earth I'm just saying it is the lens making it look like that and that is the exact argument the FEs would use
I don't know, it's gonna take a lot more than that to convince me cuz the flat earth theory is rock solid. ROCK SAHHHH..... ok i can't I can't do it I'm pretty sure that's not much of a thing anymore is it?
The Earth is actually shapped like an Egg .
It even has a gigantic yellow gooey thing in the middle that everyone is afraid of .
Thats the latest theory ..
Shaped more like a football for Superbowl Sunday .
A whole damn mission ruined because of a fault in the fairing latch opening 😕 This is why you have triple redundancies on small fiddly things that could be catastrophic if damaged. I feel for all involved it must be so frustrating 😤
NASA should have checked with SpaceX on how to build a rocket. Ohhhh, that's right, NASA'S part of the federal government. Anything the government gets involved with usually has a high failure rate.
@@sporopeza this is astra not NASA, NASA just happened to be a customer of Astra in this case. Not their fault.
They need to hire an OCD manager.
Thats why this is called rocket science. Engineers never give up.
Yeah well, it's not exactly brain surgery is it?
ua-cam.com/video/THNPmhBl-8I/v-deo.html
Never give up? Yes, NASA should give up as they are outdated and fail to much.
Call SpaceX if you want a better guaranteed delivery 😂
"... And you can see that the upper stage has lit..."
Yeah, but I don't think that's all we can see.
Looks like they got their staging wrong, revert flight back to the VAB
Looooool
underrated comment
And this, folks, is why we DON'T CELEBRATE until the mission is COMPLETE.
".. on it's way to SPACE!!..." ... mission was doomed with that remark
the kid like cheering like Bozo the Clown just showed up at a 7 years old's birthday party needs to stop. Embarrassing
Cheering for critical phases of the launch is pretty normal. Stage sep for Astra is still a big deal. They prolly got the announcement ahead of the video feed.
@@chris-hayes when we launched men to the moon on Apollo missions the only cheering was when they landed.....you know, when the mission was over. People today think everything is AWESOME and cheer the smallest shit, even if it's the 68th time it has been done.. Pathetic.
Looks like the second stage bump into the fairing and then the engine started inside it
Yeah, that separation did not look clean. It looks like it got stuck/hung up.
I think the fairings got stuck.
@@VoyagerVentures Steve come help me I’m stuck
Definitely a strange fwd translation movement inside of fairing, and then sideways as well, but I don't think engine starting inside could be issue, the engine appeared to start just after separation of fairings when I reviewed it frame by frame. The side by side videos don't appear in synch. Left image seems to be running stable on a fairing looking fwd, right image freezes time indexes and shows irregular intermittent tumbling, perhaps caused by telemetry issues from rotation interfering with transmission of data. Left image shows upper stage fishtailing back and forth at lower right of image. Looks like second stage guidance or steering thrusters are at fault if you slow it down. I'm guessing thrusters were bent or damaged if the fairing contacted them in side to side movement.
Wow Nobody commented that space is hard yet??!
With such unfortunate events you realize sending rocket ships to space is a serious thing. It is amazing to see that some companies can make heavy rockets fly, land and reuse them after.
There's still only one company that can reuse rockets. A few others are working towards it, but still not there.
That reusable rockets company makes so many launches so easily that they make this stuff look easy, but it really isn't. Pretty much every step in a launch is a chance for failure...
@@LuisPereira-bn8jq you can just say spaceX lol
@@agrozema54 Nah, don't want to give it away :p
Amen to that.
RIP NASA
When you say land, does that include falling over and exploding after touch down?
Looks like main engine cut off created a shift in the load, thats set up an unbalance the rest is history. Sad loss.
My WAG is that the payload wasn't properly secured in the faring, which allowed for the shift during MECO.
@@TheThomSirveaux sure seems like the payload or something slams backwards right before separation
@@leptok3736 took a look at Scott Manley's video, and what slams forward is the second stage, and that the faring failed to separate.
"And you can see that the upper stage engine has lit", she reads while not looking at the stream.
A lot more than that has happened!
I haven’t been so lucky ever to be in a chat with so many rocket scientists !! This is amazing we can solve everything now !!!
Just because we all didn't take a job at NASA, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of qualified people to do so. It's a matter of numbers vs availability, crazy the simple things you learned if you paid attention in school. But hey, you tried, here's a trophy. 🏆 😆🤣😂
By the way, there is a lot of correct assessments here, but apparently you're not part of the rocket science club.
Lol
@@boostedbadboyzx12r31 yes it’s obvious to see they didn’t separate at the right time !! But why ? Cmon Enlighten all of us !! Tell us exactly what anomalies caused it !! Rocket man !! I’m sure The actual engineers at astra are waiting for your answer !!

This thread omg. Look people, Elon doesn’t engineer the rocket, he doesn’t design the rockets and he’s not a rocket scientist. Okay? That’s what he pays rocket scientists to do. He may own and fund SpaceX but comparing him to Nikola Tesla is a joke. The dude didn’t invent jack sh*t. He just oversees the brand. 🤦🏻♂️
@@TitaniumTurbine exactly, thank you so much, much needed wordS from someone else.
It looks tiny, we got used to seeing giant ships.
I thought so too? Maybe SpaceX has spoiled us?
Different payloads required different space rockets.
It's roughly the length of a school bus
apparently, the locks did not work simultaneously, the second stage jammed and the main engine of the second stage, which turned on, broke the jammed connection. The second stage was thrown out of control.
Not wise to schedule two inertial changes at the same time. Second engine start-up must be allowed to stabilize and be confirmed by telemetry with a buffer of a minute or two before fairing separation.
Wished they'd called you!🇺🇸👍
Spin launch...
Scott Manley´s analysis will be interesting.
Looks like the first stage works perfectly, the problem appeared to be during the fairing seperation and and second stage ejection.
Interesting system they use for staging.
Thanks for describing the title, we all have eyes and most of us have the ability to read. 👍
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again But some don't have the ability to realize what they are seeing.
And some just like to make rude comments on science videos.
When they cut to the launch pad, for a while they displayed the velocity and altitude in the lower right corner. When it was clear the velocity was decaying they cut it off the screen. Nice transparency NASA.
I thought the first stage did not separate cleanly, and the second stage engine bell hung up on the top of the first stage. Then, when the second stage ignited it explosivly separated, causing the second stage to tumble - probably something like the thrust vectoring, or a piece of the engine bell was lost in the seperation, and the tumble was induced during the seperation. It could have tried to correct the tumble if the vectoring worked, but every time my kerbals tumble I am unable to reach orbit even if I can pull it out of the tumble - because too much velocity lost.
Looks like someone forgot to use the explosive bolts on the faring. 🙂Second sage: Hold my beer.
Seems the sequence of fairing and stage separation may have been a bit reversed.
Classic kerbal error ;)
Haha
check yo staging!
@@jordanthedove Hey at least they didn't deploy the parachutes when they lit the engine.
@@jordanthedove at least Jeb wasn’t up there
Dont give up astra keep going
🤷♂️
Okay… watching a few times, here’s my first assessment.
At 3:13 on the left we’re positioned offset from the centre, inside the fearing looking up at stage two. The bottom of the stage two engine nozzle is the shiny thing in the bottom half of the frame.
At 3:14 you can see some debris flying around, these i think are the frangible bolt pieces following the attempted fearing separation.
At 3:15 one even splats on the grey/orange bar in the right camera.
At 3:18 the payload release went as expected, except that the fearing was still there, so it bumped into the top of the fearing.
At 3:23 engine lit on schedule and it blew the fearing off. The spin probably being a result of that impact with the fearing, which was too much rotation to recover from at that point.
The white stuff on 3:15?
After MECO the separation stage and relighting of the engine caused this failure. @3:13 you can clearly see the bottom half get stuck then blown off when the engine relit. Man what a costly screw up.
Agreed.
Proud of you Astra! Keep going! We believe in you!
For those that don't already know, the 2nd stage fired before separation.
I don’t think so
Fired before fairing separation
This is me in Kerbal space program when I miss-arrange my stages 🤣
💀💀
Don’t give up! Space is hard but you can do it!
ad astra per aspera. to the stars through hardship
When the James Webb telescope was launched I was GLUED to my seat, extremely worried that something like this would go wrong. Accidents can always happen and I'm thankful this payload was lost instead of Webb.
Fortunately they didn't show us nearly anything when they launched JW, so we didn't have to be worried by anything.
@@mrhegyi I followed a stream that had constant updates during the launch. I don't remember what UA-cam channel it was though. There was another channel that updated the telescopes progress over the first month of settling into orbit and unfolding.
Still doesn't change the fact that a payload was lost, no matter how valuable it is. Either way, I hope Astra will succeed with their next launch, they've been working hard.
It is delightful to see so many encouraging comments here rather than negative ones. The space community is great.
After things went wrong, was there like 3 or 4 really fast streaks of light flying past the rocket?
Keep it going Astra. Space X and NASA had many many failures before success.
Looked like the fairing didn't separate. Then when the stage separation happened 2nd stage was loose inside the fairing. Shortly after the 2nd stage just exploded things apart.
Why is there no time between these events? Giving the space craft a slight spin would help keep the alignment.
Sorry to NASA and those expecting their stuff in space today.
Well I mean, it's technically in space.
Space is hard. Good luck to Astra on their next attempt. You are so close to pulling it off.
I'm surprised the upper stage held together with the amount of forces being exerted on the structure
Glad it wasn’t launching JWST
"Everything is cool as long as it doesn't wobble in air"
-iTalkTroll
In the footage you can see that the stages did not separate completely. Then when the engine ignited, the first stage got blown off which probably caused the spaceship to spin
Looks to me like the upper stage was stuck after releasing from the lower stage. Some crumpled structure components are visible during the separation event. Maybe I'm missing something but I am sure ASTRA will analyze and correct to be auccessful.
This company has some of the greatest failures! Even the data on velocity and altitude is wrong.
I like how there is commentary until the 2nd stage ignition, and then no mention of what happened and silence lol. Like no one admit what just happened
I think there's lots to say when they know what's happening, they stop talking when they don't know. Coz what are they gonna say? "We don't know what's happening"
I think that was a separation problem.
First and second stage rockets are connected through some hinges that must separate exactly at the same time.
If one of the hinges gets stuck then it might spin the second stage so that it won't be able to recover.
The fairing didnt deploy, when engine ignited on stage 2 it blew them away and started making it spin out of control.
Love how the commentator says you can see that the upper stage engine has lit but no remarks regarding the Earth flashing by in the background.
Seems like the fairing didn’t deploy and the second stage crashed through it.
So, still only one successful Astra launch.
@ 3:16 you can see something white fall onto something - right camera - top left corner. Anyone know what it is?
Kinda figured when stage separation seemed to jamb up a bit and the second stage started doing summersaults there was a small problem.
Well, I'd say it seems the front fell off.
But WootTootZoot why did the front fall off in this case?
It didn't fall off and that's the problem. Well technically the mid front should have fallen off so the front front could detach.
I know the pain. Happened to me loads of times in Kerbal Space Program. Something went really wrong in the upper atmosphere somewhere. Maybe center of gravity shifted hard and made the rocket tumble. Dang.
Edit: Watched again, you can see at around 3:17 around MECO and fairing seperation that there is a shock/movement there that doesn't look as if it was planned.
Yes, I think at that moment, Maybe the Second stage was locked into First stage unexpected, and when the Ether ignited, it was forcefully ejected out of the First stage resulting maybe a hole or damaged Second stage nozzel
@@atharvsarang To me it looked like that the fairing seperation consisted of 2 steps. One internal step and then the shell seperation. Either what you said or the payload or something shifted to one side hard and unexpected and not in the direction of the trajectory so it acted like a gyroscope and made it tumble. From the video its a pretty large movement altogether, and I doubt any vectoring could have corrected that. I guess Scott will eventually make a video about it when they found out what it was.
" Happened to me loads of times in Kerbal Space Program" I laughed so hard lmaooooo.
So what is the backend process on the failed payload delivery? They mention their customers....is the entire mission itself insured somehow, or is insurance up to the individual clients? Or can these sorts of things not be insured at all?
On the right image at 3:19 they are looking at a damaged part which looks like it's supposed to break and it has moved from it's position as if the fairing or rocket sustained damage.
Damn, looks like it almost succeded but the stages didn't really separate until the second stage ignited, that screwed up with the pathing I hope the camera wasn't somehow involved in it. The pathing looks pretty funky too it does all kinds of turns and twists I bet it wastes a lot of fuel doing that. I remember one of the early prototypes for Falcon, Falcon 1 I believe also had this issue and it was a big blow for SpaceX. Such is the way of spaceflight lots of failure before you get it right hopefully Astras pockets are still deep, I think NASA is funding them too, it was close, I think it's worth trying again for the proof of concept.
Nice try.
Even Musk had 3 failures !
Same failure, the last time.
Study simulations, again.
Why stage separation and fairing separation are so hard to do correctly? Many missions were doomed by it.
We've been launching payloads into orbit for 64 years....you'd think by now we'd have this down without incident.
I mean this is a fairly new private company
Its not rocket science..
When it has to get to orbit you call Elon
This thing had problems from the beginning. From a failed launch days ago and now this. My advise is that you guys at Astra need to take things slow and check everything to ensure everything is in order. No need to be in a hurry to launch and lose everything.
Gee if they only had you to help them out.
Keep pushing ashtra, great work with a setback and that’s alright. space flight is hard and that’s an understatement to say the least.
Astra's rockets look like Minuteman ICBMs
Again, the announcers can’t even be bothered to watch the crappy video feed. Y’all should ask to hitch a ride with SpaceX. Stop with the amateur hour BS.
Ok use your brain for a sec, you have a 150kg satellite to put in orbit, what rocket will you buy ? One that cost 2 million and can put up to 200kg in LEO or one that can costs 25 times more (50 millions $) and can put up to 20 000kg in LEO ?

So many aborts.. and spaceX blew up so many rockets learning to make their falcon9... Nobody.. absolutely nobody can do this without failure. Not NASA, not Russia and not even the venerable Mr. Musk..
A pretty ridiculous comment actually from a SpaceX fanboy. SpaceX had many spectacular Falcon9 failures in the early days. And have you already forgotten about the amazing explosions of the first few Starship landing attempts? Not saying that Astra will ever achieve 100+ successful launches but at least give them a chance, they're still in kindergarten.

At least they got the rocket off the pad and it cleared the field. That was a big goal.
i have read somewhere that the rocket was standing on the pad for about a month so humidity could played some role in this unfortunate failure.
There was a sep problem but I'm not entirely sure main engine was running up until meco.
Not a clean separation caused the spin of the upper stage. You can see the boltsblow but the stages don't move apart straight away,this clearly caused a destabilising effect on the upp stage when the upper stage engine started up.
10...9....8....7...."Hey boss - are you sure getting these cheaper fairing locks was such a great idea? The tolerances were listed as 'hammer to fit'"
Fairings had a made in China stamp.
Clapping while the rocket is spinning out of control. Yea boy!
There was a delay in the feed.
Was the first stage meant to get hung up like that? That didn't look right.
3:17 TURN ON TOO EARLY CRAH INTO FERING is that normal ?
looks like fairing failed to open.
Anyways i’m more curious to what happens with the load? do they have insurances? Do NASA will have to pay for that payload’s insurance?
Yes,most payloads are insured just in case.
Thanks for the video
is there any insurance for at least the payload?
