Mission control at ESA is growing increasingly concerned about the fate of Europe's ice monitoring spacecraft, Cryosat. The Cryosat spacecraft was launched at 1902 local time today, Oct 8, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia, but mission controllers have failed to receive a signal from the spacecraft. |

I am afraid it would be alike to ones failed launch of the sun sail spacecraft. Let us see in the next days.
