The first stage separated and landed successfully. However, the upper stage encountered an issue during its second burn. CEO Elon Musk confirmed on X, "Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown."

SpaceX reported that the satellites were deployed into a lower-than-intended orbit. Contact was made with ten of the satellites, but they couldn't raise their orbits due to high drag at 135 kilometers above Earth. These satellites will re-enter the atmosphere and fully demise, posing no threat to public safety.

The FAA is requiring an investigation into the incident. They will work with SpaceX to determine the root cause and implement corrective actions. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
