SpaceX - Hera F9 from CCSFS SLC-40 The FAA has authorized SpaceX to launch Hera, *just* Hera (because the Crew-9 anomaly occurred at stage 2 reentry and Hera doesn't have a stage 2 reentry). The FAA statement is in the attached image. #LaunchInformation#SpaceX#Hera

FAA STATEMENT (Oct. 6, 2024) The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle is authorized to return to flight only for the planned Hera mission scheduled to launch on October 7 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The FAA has determined that the absence of a second stage reentry for this mission adequately mitigates the primary risk to the public in the event of a reoccurrence of the mishap experienced with the Crew-9 mission. Safety will drive the timeline for the FAA to complete its review of SpaceX’s Crew-9 mishap investigation report and when the agency will authorize Falcon 9 to return to regular operations. Background The FAA is involved in every step of the SpaceX-led mishap investigation process and must approve SpaceX’s final report, including any corrective actions. The FAA granted the National Transportation Safety Board, NASA, and the U.S. Space Force observer status to the Crew-9 mishap investigation. SpaceX submitted its Crew-9 mishap investigation report and its Falcon 9 return to flight request on October 4. The FAA approved the Falcon 9 return to flight for one mission only on October 4.
