Falcon 9 CRS-1

CRS-1 successful, but the secondary payload was inserted into abnormally low orbit and lost due to Falcon 9 boost stage engine failure, ISS visiting vehicle safety rules, and the primary payload owner’s contractual right to decline a second ignition of the second stage under some conditions.
