SpaceX is preparing to resume Falcon 9 flights following a successful static fire test and clearance from the FAA. The Falcon 9 rocket, which was grounded on July 11 due to an anomaly, is set to launch 23 Starlink satellites from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 27 at 12:21 a.m. ET. The anomaly was attributed to a liquid oxygen (LOX) leak in a 'sense line' that monitored pressure in the system. SpaceX has addressed the issue by removing the problematic line for upcoming launches. Additionally, both SpaceX droneships, including GO Cosmos and ASOG, on the US East Coast are deployed to sea with their support fleet, indicating readiness for the mission. ASOG is already at the landing zone for Starlink 10-4.

    SpaceX say the Starlink G9-3 failure was a LOX leak in a 'sense line' that monitored pressure in the system. They have other ways of monitoring this so will remove the problematic line for the next few launches, staring with a Starlink mission on Sat https://t.co/ZQayeEpGVs
