After the failure of its 8th Starship test flight in March, SpaceX has received the green light from the FAA for a 9th test, which could occur soon. The FAA's comprehensive safety review concluded that SpaceX adequately addressed the causes of the previous mishap. SpaceX’s upcoming test flight will reuse the Super Heavy booster from Flight 7, with the FAA expanding the Aircraft Hazard Area to ensure safety and scheduling the launch during non-peak transit periods to minimize airspace disruptions.
The FAA conducted a comprehensive safety review of the SpaceX Starship Flight 8 mishap and determined that the company has satisfactorily addressed the causes of the mishap.
Although SpaceX has said the debris has been limited to pre-planned Debris Response Areas, on multiple occasions the FAA has briefly slowed and diverted flights.
