SpaceX is still looking into what caused the Falcon 9 to explode on September 1st before the static fire, but have hopes to return to flight in November. SpaceX has leased NASA's old Space Shuttle launch complex 39A to turn into a new launch pad that can launch the Falcon Heavy as well as Falcon 9 rockets. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president, said that they hope to launch Falcon 9 missions from LC-39A. SpaceX also has a launch site in California at the Vandenberg Air Force Base to help support missions.
