SpaceX Suffers Engine Failure In Flight

SpaceX Suffers Engine Failure In Flight #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink SpaceX has experienced its first in-flight failure of a Falcon 9 rocket since 2015, potentially resulting in the loss of a batch of Starlink satellites and raising concerns across the space industry. The failure occurred during SpaceX’s 70th orbital launch of the 2024, designated Starlink 9-3. The mission began promisingly with a liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base on July 11, 2024 at 7:35 p.m. PDT (10:35 p.m. EDT, 0235 UTC). However, issues arose during the burn of the Falcon 9’s second stage when an unusual amount of ice was observed accumulating around the Merlin Vacuum engine in camera views from the rocket.
