SpaceX's Falcon 9 Grounded by FAA After Starlink Mission Landing Failure of Booster 1062
Aug 28, 2024, 05:15 PM
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has been grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following a landing failure during the Starlink Group 8-6 mission on Tuesday, August 28, 2024. The incident involved Booster 1062, which failed to land properly after its 23rd flight. The FAA has mandated an investigation into the anomaly, specifically focusing on the failure of a landing leg while attempting to land on a droneship. This grounding marks the second time this year that the Falcon 9 has been grounded by federal regulators. The grounding is expected to delay the upcoming Polaris Dawn mission, although the delay is not anticipated to be lengthy. SpaceX is currently reviewing flight data to determine the cause of the landing failure.
