FAA completes investigation into SpaceX's second fiery Starship test
TechCrunch

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has accepted SpaceX's "root causes and 17 corrective actions" related to the investigation of the second Starship launch in November. However, before flying the Starship again, SpaceX must implement the corrective actions and apply for a modified launch license, which is currently under evaluation. The investigation showed that the likely cause of the explosion during the launch was a filter blockage in one of the Raptor engines. SpaceX is already incorporating hardware changes and design upgrades for the next launch, aiming for a fully reusable launch system capable of various missions.

The FAA has completed its investigation into SpaceX's second Starship test flight and has closed the inquiry. SpaceX has identified the causes of the failed test and implemented corrective actions, clearing the way for the third test flight pending necessary adjustments. During the second test, issues caused the Super Heavy booster to explode and the upper stage to end prematurely. SpaceX has addressed the problems by implementing fixes and hardware changes for future Starship vehicles. The third test flight is anticipated to take place in March.

SpaceX is planning to launch its Starship rocket for the third time on March 14. While awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the company recently completed a "wet dress" rehearsal for the launch. The FAA has completed its investigation into SpaceX's second Starship launch and has requested the completion of corrective actions before issuing a modified license. The upcoming launch aims to demonstrate new objectives, including a propellant transfer demonstration and the first-ever relight of a Raptor engine in space. This mission is part of SpaceX's iterative development approach towards building a reusable transportation system for Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars.

SpaceX's Starship rocket crashed into the Indian Ocean after the company lost control of the rocket nearly 30 minutes into its ninth test flight. The two-stage spacecraft, consisting of the Starship vessel mounted atop a SpaceX Super Heavy rocket booster, blasted off from Starbase launch site in Texas. This failure follows two consecutive Starship test flights earlier in 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration has approved SpaceX's ninth Starship test flight after previous mishaps, expanding hazard areas due to increased failure probabilities. The new area covers around 1,600 nautical miles from Texas to the Bahamas, reflecting a double size increase. The FAA mandates launches during non-peak times to minimize air traffic disruption. SpaceX aims to use Starship for more advanced missions, including launching Starlink satellites, as it continues testing in southern Texas.

SpaceX's ninth Starship test saw mixed outcomes, with the spacecraft reaching orbit but losing control during re-entry, ending in the Indian Ocean. This test marked the first use of a flight-proven Super Heavy booster. Despite successes in separation and ascent, a planned cargo hatch deployment failed and the spacecraft spiraled out of control later. Following prior explosions, the FAA expanded safety zones, and SpaceX implemented hardware improvements to enhance reliability.

SpaceX's Starship had a successful test flight, becoming the first to complete its full-duration ascent burn. The vehicle demonstrated its ability to separate from its Super Heavy booster and opened a payload door. However, contact with the Starship was lost shortly before splashdown. Despite this setback, SpaceX plans to continue increasing its launch cadence throughout the year. The Super Heavy booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its landing attempt. The Starship did not attempt its planned on-orbit relight due to vehicle roll rates. This was SpaceX's third test flight for the Starship rocket.
