It lost its 4th stage / satellite on its first flight last year, and three of the four precariously tacked-on little “pipe” pieces that miraculously survived that flight didn’t survive storage and transport since then; as a result I flew it under the moniker of Jupiter C-Minus on a C6-3. It too had a rodent-like boost, and it came down fast, the chute having… not quite deployed.
