at 1:17 on september 29, beijing time, spacex successfully launched the manned dragon spacecraft "crew-9" using a falcon 9 rocket, sending two astronauts to the international space station and will launch it in february 2025. bring two astronauts stranded in space on a boeing spacecraft back to earth.

comparing the two, this has undoubtedly made spacex famous.

but surprisingly,when the falcon 9's second-stage rocket was ignited and re-entered the atmosphere, an abnormality suddenly occurred and it deviated from the planned crash area into the sea.

spacex immediately decided to suspend subsequent launches of the falcon 9 rocket and resume it after finding out the cause.

in addition, the first-stage rocket booster b1085.2 was successfully recovered after launch.

previously in july, the falcon 9's second-stage rocket failed to re-ignite after a launch, resulting in a launch failure. 20 starlink satellites did not reach the scheduled altitude and fell into the earth's atmosphere and burned up.

that was the first launch failure of the falcon 9 rocket in more than seven years, and launches were suspended for a time.
