Yesterday, July 11th, a malfunction in the upper stage engine of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket disrupted a mission carrying a batch of Starlink satellites, potentially causing significant repercussions across the space industry. The Falcon 9 launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 10:35 p.m. Eastern, aiming to deliver 20 Starlink satellites into orbit, including 13 equipped with direct-to-cell payloads. The mission, designated Group 9 to 3 by SpaceX, initially appeared to progress as planned.
The rocket’s ascent to orbit was typical, with the first stage successfully landing on a droneship. However, during the first burn of the second stage, observers noticed an unusual accumulation of ice around the cover of the Merlin engine. This anomaly, not usually observed in Falcon 9 launches, did not seem to impair the stage’s immediate performance.
