The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given the green light for SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets to resume operations after a landing failure earlier this week.
On Wednesday, the workhorse Falcon 9 launched 21 satellites to low-Earth orbit as part of a routine mission for SpaceX’s Starlink internet service.
The launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida was successful but the Falcon 9 booster rocket experienced an anomaly while attempting to land on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. Video showed the booster toppling over as flames billowed out.
SpaceX said a second planned launch would be postponed “to give the team time to review booster landing data from the previous launch.”
This was the second mishap for SpaceX in less than two months. Problems with the ignition of a second propulsion stage of a Falcon 9 rocket in July resulted in the grounding of the rockets for two weeks.
