The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has closed its review of SpaceX’s Starship rocket, paving the way for the company’s next test flight. Multiple reports say the decision comes ahead of a potential launch attempt that could occur as early as this week. The FAA’s closure of the review indicates that the agency has completed its assessment related to the upcoming flight, allowing SpaceX to move forward with preparations for a further test mission.
The reports do not provide additional technical details about the specific changes planned for the next Starship attempt, nor do they specify a confirmed launch time. Instead, they frame the FAA’s action as a procedural step that clears the way for SpaceX to conduct another test flight within a near-term window. SpaceX’s Starship development continues through iterative testing, and the timing of regulatory reviews is a key factor in when upcoming missions can proceed.
