Measurement of a lithium plume from the uncontrolled re-entry of a #Falcon9 rocket: #reentry pollutes the #UpperAtmosphere: https://physicsworld.com/a/rocket-re-entry-pollutes-the-upper-atmosphere/

While the Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal is back on track, we get a rare report about a #Falcon9 not working as planned - and the rocket being grounded for now. "During today’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites, the second stage experienced an off-nominal condition during preparation for the deorbit burn," reports https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2018485314508198331: "The vehicle then performed as designed to successfully passivate the stage. The first two MVac burns were nominal and safely deployed all 25 satellites to their intended orbit. Teams are reviewing data to determine root cause and corrective actions before returning to flight".
