SpaceX Could Return Falcon 9 Rocket to Flight Dec. 16

SpaceX may return to flight two weeks from now with a 10-satellite launch. The private spaceflight company has been grounded since Sept. 1, when one of its Falcon 9 rockets exploded during a routine prelaunch test, destroying a $200 million communications satellite. But SpaceX is nearly finished with its investigation into the anomaly, which engineers traced to the interaction between oxygen and a carbon-composite helium container in the rocket's upper stage.
