The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration wrapped up a technical investigation into SpaceX's April test launch of its giant Starship rocket, saying in a Friday statement that the company must implement dozens of corrective measures before flying the vehicle again.
The April 20 launch of SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy rocket from Texas pulverized its launchpad upon liftoff and ascended 25 miles before exploding roughly four minutes into its flight, as it was attempting a crucial demonstration to reach space for the first time.
"The closure of the mishap investigation does not signal an immediate resumption of Starship launches at Boca Chica," the agency said, referring to SpaceX's sprawling Starship launch site in south Texas. It was unclear whether SpaceX had already implemented some of the FAA's 63 corrective actions, whose completion will largely determine the timing of Starship's next launch. The agency's mishap report was not made public.
