The FAA requires U.S. Fish and Wildlife to evaluate SpaceX's Boca Chica upgrades before it can authorize the next Starship launch license.
claims that the review process could span anywhere from 30 to 135 days. Given SpaceX’s hopes of relaunching Starship next month, this development could significantly disrupt the company’s timelines.
Emphasizing the environmental concerns, Aubry Buzek, a public affairs specialist at the FWS, conveyed to Bloomberg in an email: “Once the Service reviews FAA’s final biological assessment and deems it complete, consultation will be re-initiated and we will have 135 days to issue a final biological assessment.” Buzek further clarified that, if additional information becomes necessary, the time frame can be extended upon mutual agreement between the FAA and the Service.
As the FWS assessment looms, the FAA has yet to grant SpaceX the necessary approvals for its proposed second flight. If the FAA determines that its prior environmental assessment from 2022 is no longer valid due to modifications made for the upcoming flight, a more comprehensive review may be warranted, as the regulator explained in an emailed statement. And of course, the FAA needs to be happy with the recently executed corrective actions.
