Secret us satellite Zuma, who on 8 January launched a private company SpaceX, is not detected in a specified orbit. This is with reference to anonymous sources in the government and Congress of misleading Reuters and Bloomberg.

The launch of Falcon 9 satellite Zuma was made with the U.S. air force base at Cape Canaveral in the U.S. state of Florida on 7 January at 20:00 local time (4:00 GMT on 8 January).

The representative of the strategic command of captain Brooke DEWALT said that while they had "nothing to add to the catalogue of companions." The sources of the agencies claim that the satellite didn't separate from the second stage of the rocket Falcon 9 has caused the problem. It is assumed that the stage with Zuma fell into the ocean.

In most SpaceX said that while it cannot comment on the results of the run, but all the evidence points to the normal operation of the rocket.
