I definitely feel the need to point out: fail early, innovate, test, fail, innovate, test has SpaceX kicking serious butt in the Aerospace community. Being risk averse does not mean frozen in fear.

I'm reading the book "Failure is not an option" about the history of the Mission Command Center and all the flight controllers for NASA. Wow is it great reading.
Author is Gene Kranz, the flight controller for Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo as well as Apollo-13
And YES, it is all about learning from the past to be ready for the next one.

Rick,
As I mentioned to Felix in a personal mail the hard work has not been
totally lost and may be this is what is probably the most important, the team has learn many things such has building a bird, integrate it with the launcher etc.., Actually this is the more important, the learnings and capacity building.
We may fail in many missions but the learning from same make us
stronger for the future ones if we capture our shortcomings, in this case the launcher issues and I guess they will also have learn from it.
In all cases space is our greatest challenge as a specie survival and
we HAM with our limited means have a role to play in this adventure thus I just hope that we will do so as when everything does not work CW goes through (Hi!)

Sorry for the loss of your, and your team's, work. Thank you, and
please thank your team, for all their work.
Good luck on your next flight. I know all the FM satellite lovers
(like me) are anxiously awaiting the launch!

Dear friends,
Unfortunately, the GENESIS satellites were destroyed along with the
Firefly Alpha vehicle as it suffered an anomaly when it was travelling at Mach 1 speed about two minutes after the launch. It was Firefly's first flight and it was the second attempt after the first had been aborted an hour earlier a few seconds before takeoff.
We are very proud of all the team work and very grateful for this
opportunity Firefly has granted to us.
In January we will launch with SpaceX through Alba Orbital, our FM
repeaters Hades and EASAT-2. We will keep you posted,
Thanks all and regards,
Felix EA4GQS - AMSAT EA

digital GENESIS satellites will be launched from Vanderberg AFB aboard Firefly's Alpha rocket in its maiden flight. These satellites are ASK (OOK) and CW repeaters. They transmit a lot of telemetry and also 19 different CW greeting messages in english and spanish.

information about their transmisions would be very valuable for us. These are the first satellites we build by ourselves and we need to learn everything we can of them. Waterfalls, audio USB receptions or IQ files would be very appreciated. Please send them to genesis@amsat-ea.org or to ea4gqs@amsat-ea.org. We will send you a nice QSL.
