The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may license SpaceX next month for a second launch of its Starship rocket system, after a previous attempt in April ended in an explosion after takeoff.

This was reported by Reuters, as reported by Ukrinform.

“We work well with them (SpaceX – ed.) and have productive discussions. The teams are working together and, from an optimistic perspective, I think we can (grant a license for Starship) sometime next month,” the acting CEO said. FAA chief Polly Trottenberg.

But SpaceX will still need a separate environmental permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before launching Starship.

Trottenberg did not specify how long it might take for this license to be granted.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said last week that SpaceX must fix 63 problems before launching its Starship rocket system into space.

According to the news of Ukrinform, SpaceX company carried out the test launch of the Starship rocket system on April 20, but the rocket was exploded in the air due to an emergency situation.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has banned SpaceX from making any further Starship launches until an investigation into the incident is completed.
