Virgin Orbit, which is leading the mission, announced there had been ‘an anomaly’ and the rocket failed to reach the required altitude. The rocket and satellites were lost but the UK Space Agency insisted they posed no danger and were expected to burn or break up over the north Atlantic. The 747 returned to Cornwall safely.
