1Orbcomm-FM101, carried as a secondary payload, was planned to be deployed from the second stage of the Falcon-9 launch rocket. However, during the ascent an engine anomaly in one of its nine first-stage engines resulted in an automatic engine shutdown and a subsequent longer-than-planned first-stage burn of the remaining eight engines to attain the correct insertion orbit for the Dragon capsule (the primary payload). This was accomplished at the expense of increased propellant use (compared to the nominal mission). Because of this, the planned second-stage burn was canceled and Orbcomm-FM101 had to be released into an unusable orbit, which decayed rapidly so that between two and four days later the satellite burned up in the atmosphere. Prior to the mission, both SpaceX and Orbcomm were aware of the risk that the secondary payload satellite could remain stranded at the lower altitude of the Dragon insertion orbit. Orbcomm agreed to take the risk, given the dramatically lower cost of launch for a secondary payload.
