Novastra 2 was the second digital flight of the Novastra program carried out by the Kapresh Space Administration. Elcott Kerman, who had flown in Novastra 1 was sent up with Calfry Kerman who was flying for his first time. They reached an apoapsis of almost 985,000 feet, in an attempt to go higher than Novastra 1. 12 minutes and 56 seconds after launch they began re-entry. 18 seconds after beginning re-entry, both Elcott and Calfry Kerman passed away due to unknown causes. Due to this they could not deploy the parachutes and the command pad crashed into the ground at around one kilometer a second.
