#MediaInvitation: ESA’s first planetary defence mission Hera is expected to be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral NET 7 October, 2024. Journalists are invited to join the European launch event at ESA ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany. Details and registration 👇🔗esa.int/Newsroom/Press…
The FAA has approved tomorrow's Falcon 9 launch of Hera (NET 14:52 UTC) because its mission profile does not include a de-orbit burn, so there is no chance for the Crew-9 mishap to reoccur. Falcon 9 is not yet cleared to return to flight for other missions.
