Starship is one Step Closer to Flight universetoday storybywill
It also recommended 75 actions SpaceX will need to take before orbital flights, and further Starbase construction can proceed. A summary of the review’s conclusions and actions include:SpaceX will need to limit its emissions per the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality . However, the review states that “[t]ypical ground?processing operations of the size proposed at the Vertical Launch Area … are not expected to produce emissions above the potential… threshold levels.
Fishery Conservation: Per the Magnuson?Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FAA consulted with the National Marine Fisheries Service on the potential dangers of SpaceX’s operations to Essential Fish Habitats in the region. Again, they concluded that Starship testing posed no serious hazards.
National Historic Preservation: As part of the National Historic Preservation Act , the FAA determined that Starship testing would adversely affect historic properties. The FAA and SpaceX, along with local and federal heritage offices, agreed to work together to address these possible adverse effects.SpaceX’s proposal includes filling wetlands, which requires several additional state and federal permits before it can expand construction or conduct further testing.
News of the review was met favorably over at SpaceX, which tweeted: “One step closer to the first orbital flight test of Starship.” While this review does not automatically mean that SpaceX will be licensed to launch-test the immense rocket, this sentiment was certainly correct. While the PEA is hardly a green light for orbital launch tests, it does indicate a path forward for SpaceX and its operations in south Texas.
