Recently, good news came for SpaceX. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just closed its investigation into irregularities observed during the Falcon 9 rocket operation. After a thorough review of all available data, it was determined that the incident did not result in any negative consequences — no injuries to third parties or damage to public property occurred.

The investigation results allowed the FAA to give the green light for the resumption of Falcon 9 operational flights. This means the rocket has passed all required safety checks and is ready to return to its flight schedule. FAA approval is a crucial step, as it confirms that SpaceX’s control systems and safety procedures are functioning properly.

With the investigation concluded positively, the way is clear for the Dragon spacecraft to carry out its next planned crewed mission. The vehicle will be able to continue its involvement in astronaut transport programs, according to previously established schedules. The FAA’s decision confirms that safety procedures are at the appropriate level and ready to support further space operations.
