SpaceX could move from five to up to 25 annual launches from Boca Chica, Texas, as a new draft FAA assessment advances to the public comment phase.
SpaceX has gotten one step closer to increasing the annual launches from its Texas base by five times, as the Federal Aviation Administration advances a revised environmental assessment. Under a previous environmental assessment by the FAA, SpaceX can conduct up to five launches of Starship/Super Heavy a year from Boca Chica, Texas. According to a draft of a new FAA assessment released on Nov.
The development came a day after President-elect Trump traveled to the south Texas SpaceX base to watch the sixth-ever launch of Starship alongside Elon Musk. SpaceX and NASA aspire to use the Starship, the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket, to transport astronauts back to the moon and eventually Mars.
