FAA Approves Starship Flights Every Two Weeks in 2025 | NextBigFuture.com
The FAA has indicated that it will grant SpaceX permission have 25 Starship launches in South Texas in 2025 versus the current limit of five launches. SpaceX will be allowed to continue increasing the size and power of the Super Heavy booster stage and Starship upper stage.
The approvals for SpaceX and Tesla seem to be going much better now that there is a new president elect versus the Biden administration.
The Revised Draft EA analyzes:
Up to 25 annual Starship/Super Heavy orbital launches, including:
Up to 25 annual landings of Starship (Second stage)
Up to 25 annual landings of Super Heavy (First stage)
The public comment period for the Revised Draft EA will close on January 17, 2025.
FAA has concluded that the modification of SpaceX’s existing vehicle operator license for Starship/Super Heavy operations conforms to the prior environmental documentation, consistent with the data contained in the 2022 PEA, that there are no significant environmental changes, and all pertinent conditions and requirements of the prior approval have been met or will be met in the current action.
