SpaceX Falcon 9 Cleared for Launches After FAA Review

Two successful launches follow FAA clearance amid ongoing investigation into recent landing failure.

SpaceX resumed Falcon 9 launches with two back-to-back missions from Florida and California.
The FAA grounded Falcon 9 after a booster toppled and exploded during a landing attempt on August 28.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the FAA allowed launches to continue, citing no public safety risk.
The resumed launches deployed 42 Starlink satellites, including 26 with new Direct to Cell capabilities.
The private Polaris Dawn mission remains on hold due to weather concerns and additional checks.
