[Breaking News] SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Confirmed For Jan. 9, Monday
The Federal Aviation Administration gave its approval Friday for the private space launch company to resume flights.
It is finally confirmed. After a four-month gap, SpaceX has received the all-clear to resume flights starting Jan. 9, when a Falcon 9 rocket launch is scheduled to carry 10 Iridium NEXT satellites into low Earth orbit.
The private companies were both talking about the upcoming launch Thursday, but there was a regulatory hitch: the Federal Aviation Administration had yet to officially sign off on the launch. After a Falcon 9 rocket exploded during refueling Sept. 1 on SpaceX’s Cape Canaveral launch pad in Florida — destroying a Spacecom-built AMOS-6 communications satellite to be used by Facebook for providing internet coverage in Africa — both FAA and NASA had to accept the company’s investigation into the accident before it could resume operations.
