SpaceX's Starship rocket has been officially cleared for launch

Preparations for the delayed launch of the Starship rocket due to a technical issue with the hydraulic mechanism have been fully completed, according to Ground.uz.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has approved the license for SpaceX's next flight mission and set the launch date for May 22 of this year. If the launch does not take place today due to unexpected technical reasons or weather conditions, the next opportunity will only be available on May 26.

This is reported by industry experts and information sources. Earlier, Elon Musk was forced to delay the launch due to a malfunction in the hydraulic unit at the service tower.

Because the special pin did not function as expected, the possibility of a safe rocket launch was limited. SpaceX engineers managed to resolve this complex malfunction in a short time.

Currently, all systems have been rechecked and brought to a nominal state for the newly scheduled time. The latest data and images from the launch site confirm that the Starship Flight 12 vehicle — considered the largest rocket in the world — is ready for launch on the pad.

At the same time, SpaceX showcased project samples demonstrating how vehicles with the same basic design can be adapted for various purposes and tasks, which will help further expand the volume of cargo delivery and research for society in the future.

As emphasized by Elon Musk, the assembly process of third-generation Starship rockets and new-type Super Heavy boosters is currently underway at the Starbase spaceport. While the company's leader did not disclose the exact number of rockets being produced, he noted that the pace of work at the factory has significantly increased and this will usher in a new era in mastering space.

These projects will bring humanity closer to the goal of reaching other worlds.
