💨 Abstract

Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket suffered a technical issue during its sixth flight on Tuesday, causing a Lockheed Martin satellite to crash into the Pacific Ocean. The engine nozzle on Alpha's upper portion broke off in space, reducing engine thrust. The upper rocket body fired for several minutes and reached 320 km in altitude but failed to reach its intended orbit.
