Satellite burns up following SpaceX rocket glitch
Shame. It doesn't sound like Orbcomm is too disappointed though. They were aware of the risks, and they did get to test some of the systems.

Actually, sounds like Orbcomm got a heck of a deal. They get insurance money and in addition to getting a few tests off on the prototype.

Hah. Good point. A couple days of free testing in space isn't a bad deal at all.
