Second stage of SpaceX rocket Falcon 9, which was launched as part of Crew-9 mission to rescue stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, landed outside the "targeted area". "Second stage was disposed in the ocean as planned, but experienced off-nominal deorbit burn," SpaceX said. The mission was launched on Saturday and will dock with International Space Station on Monday.
