Falcon 9 B1062 Completes 23 Missions but Unfortunately Topports Over on Asog. Before this, spacex had 267 successful falcon booster landings in a row.

As per the plan, the rocket brought all the storlink satellites to their orbit. But his first-sites booster could not complete his landing. Every first stage of Falcon-9 descends on a spaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean 8.5 minutes after the booster launch. This time it did not happen and the booster overturned shortly after. In the landing video, the flames came out of his base just before the booster fell.
This incident is shocking and disappointing, as no one would have expected such a reusable rocket. The booster has so far been 23 flights and has also taken astronauts to the space.
Spacex has not yet declared its booster dead. In a social media post, the company has said that it is assessing the booster’s flight data and its condition. Spacex had planned to launch a storlink mission on Thursday, but the mission has been postponed after the accident on Wednesday.
This incident has also created concern for the Polaris Dawn Mission. That mission is to be launched on August 30. For the first time with the Polaris Mission, a private commercial spacewalk will be done in space.
