This was unusual
Payload -Kuip problems have caused a number of rocket errors, usually because they are not thrown away during the launch, or only partially deployed, so that too much extra weight remains on the launch vehicle to reach a job.
Gilmour said it postponed the Eris launch campaign “to fully understand what happened and to make all the necessary updates.” The company was founded by two brothers-Adam and James Gilmour–In 2012, and has collected around $ 90 million from risk capital companies and government funds that receive the first ERIS -Rocket to the launch platform.
The astronauts on NASA's Gemini 9A mission took this photo of a target vehicle with which they had to moor in a job. But the nose horms of the rocket is only partially opened, for the excellent illustration of the method in which payloading tests are designed to throw out their rockets during the flight.

The Eris Rocket strived to become the first all-Australian launcher who reached a job around the job. More than 50 years ago, Australia organized a handful of satellite launches by the US and British rockets.
Gilmour has its headquarters in Gold Coast, Australia, about 600 miles south of the ERIS launch platform near the coastal town of Bowen. In a statement, Gilmour said it has a replacement payload tub in his factory in Gold Coast. The company will send it to the launch location and install it on the ERIS rocket after a “full investigation” into the cause of the premature tub implantation.
“Although we are disappointed by the delay, our team is already working on a solution and we expect to be back at the path soon,” Gilmour said.
Civil servants did not say how long it could take to investigate, correct and fit a new nose cone on the Eris rocket.
This setback follows more than a year of delays that Gilmour mainly blamed Overhold -ups when receiving the approval of the regulations for the launch of the Australian government.
As many rocket companies have done earlier, Gilmour stated modest expectations for Eris's first test flight. Although the rocket needs everything to fly to a job to a low earth, officials said they were looking for only 10 to 20 seconds of stable flight at the first launch, enough to collect data about the performance of the rocket and the unconventional hybrid propulsion system.
