SpaceX aims to resume launching its Falcon 9 rocket tomorrow after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) agreed to allow the company to return to flight operations.

An FAA spokesperson told The Register: “After an extensive review, the FAA determined that no public safety issues were involved in the anomaly that occurred during the SpaceX Starlink Group 9-3 launch on July 11.
"This public safety decision means the Falcon 9 vehicle can return to flight operations while the overall investigation is open, provided all other license requirements are met."
SpaceX made a public safety request on July 15 following an upper stage mishap earlier this month. The FAA spent a few days considering it and determined there was no risk to public safety — so Elon Musk's rocket pilots could continue launching their rockets while the overall investigation rumbled on.
