SpaceX pauses Falcon 9 launches for internal and FAA investigations

SpaceX has paused Falcon 9 launches as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigates an anomaly during the Crew-9 mission, which successfully launched Crew Dragon to the International Space Station in late September.

Although the liftoff was successful, the Falcon 9 upper stage experienced an “off-nominal deorbit burn,” causing it to land outside the designated disposal area in the ocean.

SpaceX confirmed the issue and stated it would resume launches once the root cause is determined. The FAA noted there were no reported injuries or damage to public property.

This marks the third issue with Falcon 9 in recent months, following a liquid-oxygen leak in July and an unsuccessful first-stage landing in August, Teslarati has reported.
