SpaceX Gets Federal Approval for More South Texas Launches
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved SpaceX to launch 25 rockets per year, increasing the number from the previous amount of five per year.
The increase is the latest development for SpaceX, following the incorporation of Starbase—voted on by residents of the soon-to-be city, most of whom are SpaceX employees.
The FAA is currently reviewing the company’s newest rocket, Starship Flight 9, and has given approval for some modifications–stopping short of a full approval.
Elon Musk stated his intent to be in Starbase next week to discuss the “game plan for Mars,” as SpaceX is set to begin crewed missions to the planet by 2028.
