WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ordered SpaceX to investigate \u200bwhy its Starship booster suffered a mishap and crashed into the Gulf \u200cof Mexico during a test flight last week, the agency said on Wednesday.<\/div>\n
The FAA said it determined the SpaceX Starship Flight 12 launch on May 22 resulted in a mishap that \u200binvolved its Super Heavy booster as it flew back to the Gulf \u200bof Mexico after stage separation.<\/div>\n
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a \u2060request for comment.<\/div>\n
The FAA added there were no reports of injuries to members \u200bof the public or damage to public property. The FAA said it will oversee \u200bthe SpaceX-led investigation, be involved in every step of the process, and approve the company’s final report, including any corrective actions.<\/div>\n
SpaceX’s 12th test flight of a Starship prototype since 2023, and the first \u200bof its V3 iteration, was successful on most counts on Friday. It deployed \u200ba clutch of mock satellites and executed a controlled splashdown of the spacecraft in the Indian \u200cOcean. \u2060But it failed to achieve a controlled landing of the Super Heavy booster, which tumbled into the Gulf.<\/div>\n
The probe is designed to boost public safety, determine the cause of the mishap, and identify actions to prevent it from happening again, the FAA \u200bsaid.<\/div>\n
The FAA will \u200bapprove a return \u2060to flight of the Starship-Super Heavy vehicle after ensuring any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect \u200bpublic safety.<\/div>\n
Starship is critical to lowering SpaceX’s launch costs, expanding \u200bits Starlink \u2060satellite business – its cash engine – and supporting future undertakings such as space-based computing, deployment of orbital AI data-center satellites and human missions to the moon and potentially Mars.<\/div>\n
The company \u2060has \u200bspent more than $15 billion developing what it hopes \u200bwill become a fully reusable rocket capable of carrying far larger payloads than existing launch systems.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
