A <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2024\/07\/12\/spacex_suffers_an_inflight_falcon\/\" rel=\"noopener\">second-stage malfunction<\/a> led to the loss of 20 Starlink satellites in July. The rocket was briefly grounded again in August following a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2024\/08\/30\/spacex_falcon_9_failure\/\" rel=\"noopener\">landing failure<\/a>. Now another second-stage issue has resulted in a deorbit burn that sent debris to the wrong part of the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>However, with more than 20 launches notched up since July&#8217;s incident, the Falcon 9 remains a consistently reliable workhorse. Apart from an isolated landing problem, the first-stage booster has continued to perform impressively.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the situation worse is that the Crew-9 mission launch was otherwise a complete success, and the Crew Dragon capsule, with only a crew of two onboard to make space for the Boeing Starliner crew, successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on September 29, a day after launch. Crew-9 was also the first human spaceflight mission to launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. \u00ae<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Updated to add at 2100 UTC<\/h3>\n<p>The FAA has told us it was aware of SpaceX&#8217;s slip-up, and wants a probe into the error.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson said: \u201cThe incident involved the Falcon 9 second stage landing outside of the designated hazard area.
