SpaceX has announced plans to collaborate with federal regulators to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the recent incident involving the Starship spacecraft during a test flight. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), responsible for licensing commercial rocket launches and overseeing such inquiries, is yet to comment on the matter.
Such investigations typically result in delays between test flights as authorities analyze the issue and prescribe corrective measures for SpaceX to implement. Despite previous frustrations with FAA-related delays, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk indicated that, based on initial assessments, the next launch may not be postponed beyond the following month.
