Transporter-2
Falcon 9 carried 88 spacecraft into sun-synchronous orbit on a SpaceX rideshare flight, among them QMR-KWT, Kuwait's first satellite, a cubesat built for a student coding programme.
The two LINCS satellites, optical-communications demonstrators built by General Atomics for the US Space Development Agency, tumbled out of control after deployment. General Atomics attributed the loss to an issue with the launch vehicle.
