SpaceX And NASA Set Crew-9 Launch For August 18

SpaceX and NASA said on July 26, they plan to launch the space agency’s Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) no earlier than Aug. 18. The announcement comes a day after the Federal Aviation administration cleared SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket to return to space following a rare mid-flight failure earlier this month had grounded it.

About Falcon 9

The Falcon 9, the world’s most frequently used rocket, was grounded after one rocket broke apart in space and doomed its payload of Starlink satellites, the first failure in more than seven years of a rocket relied upon by the global space industry.
