FAA closes investigation into SpaceX Starship’s double-explosion 2nd flight
As SpaceX continues to gear up for flight No. 3 of its massive Starship and Super Heavy from Texas, the Federal Aviation Administration has closed the investigation into the second flight that resulted in explosions of both the booster and upper stages back in November.
The FAA on Monday said the SpaceX-led investigation into what was classified as a “mishap,” cited 17 action items that have to be addressed before any future launch licenses from SpaceX’s Boca Chica, Texas launch site Starbase are approved.
Starship is SpaceX’s replacement launch system for its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and is completely reusable. It’s aiming to launch a third test flight as soon as next month if it can get approval.
The first launch of Starship and Super Heavy in April 2023 also ended in an explosion, but with the booster still connected to the upper stage. That launch also walloped the launch pad, and it took more than six months to close out that mishap investigation with 63 corrective actions.
