With the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) having closed the mishap investigation into the anomaly during the first Integrated Flight Test of Starship, SpaceX is waiting for its launch license for the second test flight of the world’s most powerful rocket. However, that FAA process is clearly going to take the test launch into next month at the earliest, backed up by SpaceX deciding to destack Ship 25 on Thursday.
During the investigation, SpaceX came up with corrective actions designed to mitigate and prevent the same issues from occurring, which were then submitted to the FAA for approval. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk then released a list of 63 corrective actions on X; six will be completed on later flights as SpaceX teams develop solutions.
