SpaceX Falcon 9 Grounded After Catastrophic Failure During Starlink Launch

A liquid oxygen leak led to the loss of 20 satellites and has prompted a comprehensive investigation by the FAA.

The second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket failed to ignite properly, releasing satellites into an unusable orbit.
All 20 Starlink satellites burned up in Earth's atmosphere after failing to reach their intended orbit.
This marks the first Falcon 9 failure since 2016, ending a streak of 354 successful launches.
The Federal Aviation Administration is overseeing the investigation and has grounded the Falcon 9 fleet.
Upcoming missions, including crewed flights to the ISS, may face delays as the investigation proceeds.
