Just 12 hours after NASA's Crew-9 mission launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on what appeared to be a successful mission, SpaceX revealed that while there was no threat to the crew, not everything went as planned. The second or upper stage successfully brought the Dragon to the intended orbit and then separated. However, when the second stage ignited its engine burn to renter the atmosphere, something went wrong. The second stage entered the ocean but not where SpaceX had planned. As a result, SpaceX is voluntarily suspending Falcon 9 launches. Just after midnight on Sunday, SpaceX posted to X (formerly Twitter): "After today’s successful launch ofCrew-9, Falcon 9’s second stage was disposed in the ocean as planned, but experienced an off-nominal deorbit burn. As a result, the second stage safely landed in the ocean, but outside of the targeted area. We will resume launching after we better understand root cause." In simple terms, the upper stage, which delivered the Crew Dragon to the correct orbit, performed as expected initially. However, a misfire occurred during the reentry burn. This caused the stage to land outside of the designated area. While SpaceX disposes of the upper stage in the ocean, it must be within a targeted area for public safety. SpaceX has not stated specifically where the second stage has splashed down. FLORIDA TODAY reached out to the FAA early Sunday, but has not received a response at the time of publication. It is unclear if the FAA will become involved, or if SpaceX is voluntarily looking into the incident. It remains to be seen how long the investigation will impact the launch schedule. The next major launch for SpaceX is NASA's Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon. Europa Clipper is set to lift of no earlier than October 10 atop a Falcon Heavy (three Falcon 9 rockets) from Pad 39A.
