A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch on March 4 has failed to do a deorbit burn. It re-entered the Earth's orbit on March 25 and created a light show over the Pacific Northwest sky.
SpaceX Falcon 9 took off from Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 40 to launch 60 more Starlink satellites into orbit. The starship also nailed the landing.
On Thursday, SpaceX successfully launched Falcon 9 booster rockets carrying Starlink satellites, adding to the largest artificial constellation of satellites. Additionally, SpaceX was awarded two national security launches beating out Northrop Grumman and Blue Origin.
The upcoming launch will be the third manned flight to the ISS by SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. NASA earlier said that the Crew-2 launch would be no earlier than April 20.
Two Starlinks are originally set to launch roughly four hours apart from each other on Thursday. However, one is rescheduled to allow for additional pre-launch checks.
