FAA Grounds SpaceX's Falcon 9 After Anomaly During Crew-9 Mission

The rocket's upper stage experienced an off-nominal deorbit burn, prompting an investigation and halting future launches.

The Falcon 9 rocket's upper stage missed its targeted splashdown zone after launching the Crew-9 mission on September 28.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requiring an investigation into the anomaly before the rocket can resume flights.
This is the third time in three months that the Falcon 9 has been grounded due to issues with its upper stage.
SpaceX has paused all Falcon 9 launches, affecting upcoming missions including NASA's Europa Clipper and the European Space Agency's Hera mission.
No public injuries or property damage were reported, but the grounding puts additional strain on the spaceflight industry.
