SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has been grounded once again following a failed landing of Booster 1062. The booster burst into flames on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas after 23 successful launches, including the Inspiration4 mission.
The incident occurred at Space Launch Complex-40 and resulted in the deployment of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 direct-to-cell versions. This grounding follows a second stage failure in July that kept the Falcon 9 grounded for weeks.
The FAA is currently investigating the latest incident to ensure public safety before allowing the rocket to fly again, which will delay the Polaris Dawn civilian spacewalk mission.
