SpaceX is currently seeking approval to resume launching its Falcon 9 rocket while the investigation into the recent Starlink 9 to 3 anomaly continues. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that SpaceX submitted a request for a public safety determination on July 15. If approved, this determination would allow SpaceX to proceed with launches while the investigation remains open.
The anomaly occurred during a Falcon 9 launch on July 11, when the rocket's upper stage failed to complete its second burn due to a liquid oxygen leak. This failure prevented the rocket from circularizing its orbit before deploying 20 Starlink satellites, leaving them in a very low orbit with a perigee of just 135 kilometers. The high atmospheric drag at this altitude has prevented the satellites from raising their orbits using their electric propulsion systems. As a result, SpaceX announced that the satellites would re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up.
Elon Musk, SpaceX’s CEO, mentioned that satellite controllers attempted to maximize the electric thrusters to overcome the atmospheric drag but acknowledged that it was unlikely to succeed. Despite the malfunction, the satellites pose no threat to other satellites or public safety due to their low orbit and design to disintegrate upon reentry.
