Orbcomm Inc. said the single prototype of its second generation of satellites, launched as a secondary mission payload on the Cargo Re-Supply Services (CRS-1) mission to the ISS on 8 October 2012 (UTC), verified various functionality checkouts prior to its deorbit. The OG2 prototype was deployed into a lower orbit as the result of a pre-imposed safety check required by NASA. This was caused by an engine failure on the Falcon 9 launcher’s first stage, which according to SpaceX will be subject to an investigation.
