SpaceX successfully launched the Hera probe for the European Space Agency, marking its return to flight after an earlier grounding due to a second stage reentry issue. The mission aims to survey a binary asteroid system as part of a planetary defense test. However, the launch of NASA's Europa Clipper on Falcon Heavy has been delayed due to the approaching Hurricane Milton, which also impacts the return of Crew-8 from the International Space Station. The delay is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of launch team personnel and spacecraft. Once the storm passes, recovery teams will assess the safety of the spaceport before determining the next launch opportunity. Additionally, the FAA is conducting a review of SpaceX's mishap investigation report related to the Crew-9 launch incident in September, which will drive the timeline for authorizing Falcon 9 to return to regular operations. This marks the third grounding of Falcon 9 by the FAA this year, emphasizing the importance of safety in commercial space operations.
