The launch of Gilmour Space's Eris-1 rocket has been delayed after an unexpected issue caused the vehicle's payload fairing to deploy on the launchpad. This incident follows a previous scrub due to a ground support system issue. Gilmour Space identified an electrical fault as the cause and confirmed no damage occurred. The vehicle was returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs, and a new fairing is on route. Their team remains optimistic, looking forward to another launch attempt in a few weeks, ensuring the state of the Vegemite payload is safe.
Our team encountered the issue before fueling and liftoff, which is exactly what ground testing is meant to do. The good news is our team and rocket are both fine.
During final checks, an unexpected issue triggered the rocket's payload fairing. It appears that an electrical fault was to blame.
