Accident:

During the operation of the second stage, after the fairing flaps were reset, at the moment of switching to the additional electric battery (after the main battery was reset), the video signal was lost. Telemetry was received for some time, showing a decrease in altitude with an increase in speed (step fall). Satellites are lost (fell into the ocean).
