Launch 1-15: SEC-2 (Kerbin Polar Satellite)

Year 1, day 324.
Customer: STEADLER Engineering Corps
Mission Objectives:

1. Place satellite into polar orbit high above Kerbin.

To coincide with range safety, polar orbits are only permitted towards the south. Unfortunately, this means this launch must take place at night.

Liftoff!

Shortly after liftoff, control of the vehicle was lost. While the vehicle automatically corrected itself, enough speed was lost that MECO occurred at an altitude too low for a successful deployment.

Subsequently, heat-sensitive equipment on the payload was destroyed during ascent.

While the payload has enough fuel to reach the target orbit, its electrical systems are beyond repair.

Mission Objectives:

1. Place satellite into polar orbit high above Kerbin: payload damaged during ascent.
