“During assembly, it is believed that two cables carrying control signals to the thrust vectoring actuators on the AVUM’s RD-843 engine were crossed. With the guidance signals going to the wrong actuators, the vehicle was uncontrollable and began to tumble. As a result, the satellites did not achieve orbital velocity.”
