SpaceX rocket grounded after orbital failure

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Thursday night, carrying 20 Starlink satellites.

However, about an hour later, the rocket’s second stage failed to reignite, resulting in the satellites being deployed into a shallower orbit, where they are expected to soon reenter and burn up in the atmosphere.

CEO Elon Musk reported on X that the failure led to a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” (RUD) for unknown reasons.

This incident marks the first failure in over seven years for the Falcon 9, which has been crucial to the global space industry, Reuters reported.
