Elon Musk's commercial space transport corporation, Space X, has now announced that they will be resuming all of their space transport services starting with a launch scheduled this weekend. The company also announced that it has already concluded its investigation of the explosion that destroyed one of their Falcon 9 rockets back in September.

According to the company's recently released findings, the main cause of the explosion on their Falcon 9 rocket was a due to a "buckle" in the inner liners of the composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). The explosion completely destroyed the company's $62 million rocket and a Facebook-owned communications satellite estimated to cost around $200 million. The incident also resulted in the termination of a contract with the British satellite communications company, Inmarsat.

The team that investigated the explosion scanned over 3,000 channels of video and a mountain of data to find the cause of the issue in the pressure vessel within the liquid oxygen tanks. The company has also taken new measures to prevent it from happening again.

These new measures include a full revamp of the fueling procedure to avoid the buildup of super cooled liquid oxygen between the helium containers. The COPVs will also be redesigned to avoid the same integrity issues.

Space X's first launch since the incident will be taking place over the weekend, on Jan. 8. The launch will be for 10 new satellites owned by Iridium Communications. The satellites will be used to provide a mobile communications network for different vessels on land, sea, and air.

All the satellites will be launched on a new Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base. The company currently has a waiting list of 70 missions, which is estimated to be worth $10 billion, as per a report from TechTimes.

With Space X now resuming transport services, they should be able to cater to all of the pending launches in the coming years. That is if they don't get into any further setbacks.
