The Exploration Company launched an experimental spacecraft named Mission Possible, which successfully completed its mission by entering orbit and re-establishing communication upon re-entry. However, shortly before splashdown, mission control lost contact with the capsule, which then disappeared into the ocean. The company's leadership remains optimistic, claiming the mission was a success in demonstrating the viability of low-cost spacecraft assembly using available components. Moving forward, the company plans to develop a more advanced cargo vehicle, Nyx, intended for future missions.
"But it encountered an issue afterwards, based on our current best knowledge, and we lost communication a few minutes before splash down."
"The Exploration Company leadership is calling it a success, saying it proved that putting together a mission using low-cost, off-the-shelf parts can result in a successfully launched capsule."
