did they send it up on a pegasus?

It was a private venture, cant remember the rocket but not a pegasus.
It was their third failure. The majority of the money was to be made from 3 satellites the rocket was carrying. Its the guy who sold Paypal to ebay for around 2 billion bucks who owns the company doing this.

I think the ashes were supposed to keep going being pulled off to who knows where.
I will attempt to find the story.
