SpaceX was suspended after its rocket caught fire during landing.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a halt to SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets and an investigation into a pre-dawn crash off the coast of Florida. No casualties or public damage have been reported.

It's too early to know how this move will affect SpaceX's upcoming crewed flights, including a private flight and one for NASA. A billionaire's charter flight had already been delayed just hours earlier due to bad weather forecasts.

Previously, the Facon 9 rocket launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Station, carrying all 21 Starlink internet satellites into orbit. However, the first stage of the rocket caught fire violently after landing on a sea-based launch pad. This was the 23rd launch of this particular rocket, but also the first such accident in many years.

The FAA said SpaceX must provide findings about the accident and corrective actions before the company can resume Falcon 9 launches. A launch from California with more Starlink satellites was immediately aborted after the crash.

Jon Edwards, vice president of SpaceX, said the company is working "as quickly as possible" to find out what happened.

"Losing a rocket booster is always sad. Each one has its own history and characteristics. Fortunately, this doesn't happen often," Edwards posted on X.
