Pegasus (rocket)
The Pegasus is an air-launched rocket developed by Orbital ATK, formerly Orbital Sciences Corporation. Capable of carrying small payloads of up to 443 kilograms (977 lb) into low Earth orbit, Pegasus first flew in 1990 and remains active as of 2015. The vehicle consists of three solid propellant stages and an optional monopropellant fourth stage. Pegasus is released from its carrier aircraft at approximately 40,000 ft (12,000 m), and its first stage has wings and a tail to provide lift and attitude control while in the atmosphere.
Pegasus program
The Pegasus's three Orion solid motors were developed by Hercules Aerospace (now Alliant Techsystems) specifically for the Pegasus launcher. Additionally, wing and tail assemblies and a payload fairing were developed. Most of the Pegasus was designed by a team led by Dr. Antonio Elias. The wing was designed by Burt Rutan.

Pegasus XL Rocket Launches with CYGNSS Spacecraft

Pegasus: A Rocket Unlike Any Other
NASA's CYGNSS mission will begin with a launch into orbit aboard an Orbital ATK Pegasus. So instead of lifting straight into space from the ground, the rocket will be flown underneath an airliner to about 39,000 feet and released. After ignition, the Pegasus will soar away from the carrier aircraft, point its nose to the sky and burn through three stages to place the CYGNSS constellation of eight small satellites into orbit.

Virgin's Orbit's Failed Rocket Launch & The History Of Air Lauched Rockets To Orbit
We don't know much about what happened, beyond that the engine lit for a few seconds before shutting down and terminating the flight, But I did think it was worth talking about the history of Air launched Orbital class rockets and how they're neither new, nor easy, but still cool technologically.
