A return flight is based on the FAA determining that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety In addition, SpaceX may need to request and receive approval from the FAA to modify its license that incorporates any corrective actions and meet all other licensing requirements”In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Jon Edwards, SpaceX’s vice president of Falcon Launch Vehicles, said “We still have a good shot at 148 In fact, we may even try to do a few more this year
”Bulking up Starlink's megaconstellation has more than doubled the number of satellites orbiting around the planet: satellite tracking website Orbiting Now shows that there are currently 10,845 satellites in orbit around the Earth The ballooning number of satellites orbiting the Earth, largely due to SpaceX launches, has sparked concerns from experts for several reasons“Test launches like these are crucial for protecting our nation’s defense,” stated Col Mark Shoemaker, Commander of Space Launch Delta 30
“As global threats evolve, it’s essential to support these launches and maintain access to space to safeguard our nation”Nov 23 (UPI) -- Egg production is down and prices are higher as the holiday season approaches due to a particularly persistent strain of H5N1, or avian influenza, a prominent industry group saysThis image from video provided by SpaceX shows the upper stage engine of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which blasted off from California on Thursday
SpaceX/AP hide caption toggle caption SpaceX/AP CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla — A SpaceX rocket has failed for the first time in nearly a decade, leaving the company’s internet satellites in an orbit so low that they're doomed to fall through the atmosphere and burn up The Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from California on Thursday night, carrying 20 Starlink satellites Several minutes into the flight, the upper stage engine malfunctioned
SpaceX on Friday blamed a liquid oxygen leak Space Third time's the charm: SpaceX's massive Starship reaches space The company said flight controllers managed to make contact with half of the satellites and attempted to boost them to a higher orbit using onboard ion thrusters But with the low end of their orbit only 84 miles (135 kilometers) above Earth — less than half what was intended — “our maximum available thrust is unlikely to be enough to successfully raise the satellites,” the company said via X SpaceX said the satellites will reenter the atmosphere and burn up
There was no mention of when they might come down More than 6,000 orbiting Starlinks currently provide internet service to customers in some of the most remote corners of the world Sponsor Message The Federal Aviation Administration said the problem must be fixed before Falcon rockets can fly again Space SpaceX launches 4 people for a private mission to the International Space Station It was not known if or how the accident might impact SpaceX's upcoming crew flights
A billionaire's spaceflight is scheduled for July 31 from Florida with plans for the first private spacewalk, followed in mid-August by an astronaut flight to the International Space Station for NASA The tech entrepreneur who will lead the private flight, Jared Isaacman, said Friday that SpaceX's Falcon 9 has “an incredible track record and as well as an emergency escape system The last launch failure occurred in 2015 during a space station cargo run Another rocket exploded the following year during testing on the ground
