Test flight. The dummy payload remained attached to the upper stage, which was to be deorbited 2h40m into flight. However, the auxiliary power unit fail to restart after the cubesat deployments, and the stage was passivated in orbit without performing a deorbit burn. As a result, two reentry capsules remain attached to the stage and was not able to perform their missions.
