"Falcon 9" rocket launch suspension may affect US manned space launch schedule

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket experienced an anomaly during the Starlink satellite launch mission on the 2nd. The company announced that it will temporarily pause all Falcon 9 launches until the cause is identified and corrective actions are completed. This may impact the upcoming manned space launch missions planned by the United States. During the launch mission on the 2nd, the Falcon 9 rocket successfully delivered 25 Starlink satellites into the intended low Earth orbit. However, after deploying the satellites, the rocket's second stage experienced an anomaly while preparing for the deorbit burn process. Subsequently, the second stage was safely deactivated according to design procedures. The mission team is reviewing and evaluating relevant data to determine the cause of the malfunction and develop appropriate corrective measures. Falcon 9 launches will be paused until this is completed. This grounding comes at a time when SpaceX is preparing for a new manned space mission with NASA. According to the plan, SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch on the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on February 11th, to carry out the Crew-12 mission to rotate four astronauts to the International Space Station.
