Launch was unsuccessful, updates as soon as we get them

So sad for the students who've put their time into these projects...a really really hard lesson to learn. Seems like quite a few failures from these cheap converted ICBM russian LV's over the past year or so.

I popped into the Cubesat IRC channel after the launch failure, and a lot of the teams seemed sad, but up-beat - the point being that a Cubesat project is a success when it gets to the pad, and that orbital ops is a very nice bonus that they expect to occur, but are not gutted if it doesn't.
