SpaceX has received permission to launch its Starship rocket

Elon Musk's founded SpaceX company has received the necessary permit to conduct the next test flight of its Starship spacecraft, considered the most powerful rocket system, as reported by Zamin.uz.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has officially concluded the investigation into the anomalies that occurred during the previous test flight. This decision opens new opportunities for one of the largest projects aimed at mastering space.

Recall that during the eighth test flight in March, the rocket ended with an unexpected disintegration. According to the regulator's report, this incident caused no harm to public health or community property.

Investigations conducted by company specialists and confirmed under government oversight have fully identified the primary causes of the anomaly. According to experts' conclusions, two main factors contributed to the shutdown of the Super Heavy booster.

First, during ascent, the engine system components were exposed to excessively high thermal loads. Second, incorrect settings in the engine's excessive warning system created conditions conducive to failure.

These shortcomings led to leaks in the system during the final phase of flight. SpaceX has developed four key corrective measures to address these issues.

These include upgrading the vehicle's hardware section and updating the software—technical processes deemed sufficient by the FAA. The agency has granted permission for the next launch, provided the company meets all licensing requirements.

Currently, the company is actively preparing for Starship's thirteenth mission. Hot-fire tests of the first stage have already been conducted, with photos and videos shared with the public.

These tests are a critical step in verifying the stability of the next-generation engines. According to plans, the next test flight could take place in mid-July of this year.

The success of the Starship program will play a foundational role in the future colonization of the Moon and taking humanity's first steps toward Mars. It is worth noting that this vehicle is currently considered the tallest and most powerful rocket system in the world.

Its full reusability is expected to significantly reduce the cost of delivering payloads to orbit. This agreement between the company and regulatory authorities represents an important balance between safety and innovation in the private space sector.
