Rocket Stopped Working

[NeKiNa]

I am not sure how this happened but after I got into orbit my rocket just stopped working, I turned it off to navigate the orbit and fix my routing to try and go to the mun but when I went back to the spaceship view it won't let me start the rocket again. I maximized the thrusters and no luck. Now my Stayputnik is stuck in orbit no idea what happened there.

Can anyone bring light to this matter? I know its not a big deal but do you think its a bug or what?

Ran out of power probably. Moar batteries.

Almost certainly a power issue. You need solar panels or radiothermal generators to supply power to your craft when rocket motors aren't firing, or enough battery capacity to last through times you're coasting. I usually go with a couple of lightweight (fixed) solar panels and a small battery to tide the probe controller over when the panels are in shadow... but that may change with the new version which needs electricity to drive SAS/ASAS modules.
