WASHINGTON, D.C. — SpaceX's stalwart Falcon 9 rocket has been cleared for launch after experiencing a rare failure earlier this month, officials said Thursday.The rocket, a prolific launch vehicle that propels both satellites and astronauts into orbit, experienced an anomaly during a launch on July 11 in its second stage booster that meant it failed to deploy 20 Starlink satellites at a high enough altitude, and all burnt up on re-entry through Earth's atmosphere.
'After investigating the mishap, the Federal Aviation Administration said it had determined 'no public safety issues were involved in the anomaly' and that the Falcon 9 vehicle 'may return to flight operations while the overall investigation remains open.'The last time a Falcon 9 experienced a serious incident was in September 2016, when one blew up on the launchpad.
