Live updates from SpaceX’s foggy Friday morning Starlink 6-108 mission that launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX halted Falcon 9 launches for a week while it investigated that issue, which was traced to a fuel leak in one of the booster's nine Merlin engines. This leak led to a fire shortly after touchdown, which weakened a landing leg and caused the vehicle to tip over.
In the week ahead, SpaceX plans 2 Starlink missions from Vandenberg. And will Firefly Aerospace launch its delayed return-to-flight mission?
The cold weather didn’t delay SpaceX’s plans to launch another Starlink mission Tuesday, but did delay NASA’s plans to roll back the Artemis II rocket from the launch pad.
