SpaceX Ramps Up Starship Launch Plans at Kennedy Space Center

The FAA initiates a new environmental review as SpaceX proposes increasing Starship launches in Florida.

SpaceX plans to increase Starship launches at Kennedy Space Center from 24 to 44 annually, necessitating further infrastructure.
The FAA's new environmental impact statement will assess the expanded operations, including changes in rocket design and launch frequency.
Public scoping meetings are scheduled to discuss potential environmental impacts, with opportunities for public input.
Previous assessments in 2019 concluded minimal environmental impact, but recent upgrades and increased launch plans require reevaluation.
SpaceX's enhanced launch infrastructure at Kennedy includes facilities for both launching and landing the Super Heavy booster.
