SpaceX submitted the investigation amd seeked permission to relaunch Falcon 9

$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ According to Teslarati, SpaceX is seeking permission to relaunch its Falcon 9 rocket during the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigation into a mishap that occurred last week.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk detailed the issue with the Starlink satellites:

“Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown. Team is reviewing data tonight to understand root cause. Starlink satellites were deployed, but the perigee may be too low for them to raise orbit. Will know more in a few hours.”

The FAA then put a statement out shortly after:

“The FAA is aware an anomaly occurred during the SpaceX Starlink Group 9-3 mission that launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on July 11. The incident involved the failure of the upper stage rocket while it was in space. No public injuries or public property damage have been reported. The FAA is requiring an investigation.”

My Take: The incident showed that Space industry is a risky business. It is important for the company to be transparent and put safety as the first priority when an incident like this happened. I think SpaceX has a contingency to minimize the risk, so far SpaceX has responded efficiently which is commendable. It is normal for FAA to temporarily halt further launch amid an independent investigation. Elon Musk owned SpaceX and the CEO of Tesla. I'll update this post when there is more information.
