The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket a green light to return to flight.
The Falcon 9 had been grounded since Sept. 28, when the rocket suffered an issue with its upper stage during the launch of the Crew-9 astronaut mission for NASA. (A Falcon 9 did launch Europe's Hera asteroid-inspection probe on Oct. 7, but that was a one-time exception granted by the FAA.)
