SpaceX announced Monday that one of the Falcon 9's engines lost pressure and shut down during its launch en route to send supplies to the International Space Station. The failure did not affect the Dragon cargo capsule, which was put into orbit successfully, but a secondary mission that involved the launch of a communications satellite was affected. The OG2 satellite ended up in an incorrect orbit. Experts are still trying to determine if the satellites onboard propulsion system can be employed to put the stranded satellite into its correct orbit."
