They claim a 500km x 800km orbit @ T=08mins+ @ 5200m/s insertion velocity, but at 9m:29s the 'cast gave 4600m/s velocity while the engine was still burning and supposedly had 30 seconds of burn still to complete when comm's were lost(apparently expected). According to my calculations they needed 5200m/s @ 800km and 7500+m/s @ 500km for orbital insertion. Looked like a ballistic trajectory to me, not orbital insertion....or maybe it was a drop-down insertion...I'd like confirmation or orbit by somebody else frankly!
