Well, shit. Though I doubt there will be as thorough of an investigation since it was a test fire (which is meant to identify issues), chances are that did a ton of damage to the pad that's gonna take forever to fix.

Loss of payload...ouch.
Two lost payloads in 1.5 years isn't going to help opinions of their reliability. |

It SOUNDS like it may have been an issue with the ground equipment and not the rocket (not confirmed by official sources). That's not necessarily any better, but it's interesting if so.

I thought the satellite wasn't onboard?

It seems odd that they would be test firing it with the payload onboard.

Sadly, I've removed the "next launch" info from the OP. It'll probably be a while before there's anything to put in there.
