WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Monday it was extending its target date to complete an environmental review of the proposed SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy program in Boca Chica, Texas, to March 28.
The FAA’s previous target date was Feb. 28. The FAA noted that completing the environmental review does not guarantee that a vehicle operator license will be issued to SpaceX.
SpaceX, the space company led by Elon Musk must also meet FAA safety, risk and financial responsibility requirements, the agency added.
