Elon Musk, SpaceX's CEO, said on Sunday that the company has implemented all the fixes asked by the Federal Aviation Administration for Starship ahead of its first flight test.
What's happened on Twitter, according to the CEO.
The agency said on Friday that it has closed its investigation into the explosion of the Starship during its first flight test in April. The report cites multiple root causes for the mishap and 63 corrective actions for the rocket manufacturer to take. These corrective actions include a redesign of the vehicle's hardware and launchpad and the inclusion of additional reviews in the design process.
SpaceX has done 57 more than any other venture, and it has done so far. However, Musk said, the remaining six are for later flights and not the immediate next. Most of the fix options left for the future include those pertaining to the improvement of raptor reliability.
On April 20, SpaceX unveiled Starship's first test launch. The rocket exploded in less than four minutes after takeoff, causing damage to the launch pad at Starbase and causing dust to rain down on residents of Port Isabel, Texas.
Last week, Musk said that the Starship, which is rumored to be the biggest rocket ever and a major part of his dreams of making life'multi-planetary' by enabling human and cargo travel to Mars, is ready to launch and is currently awaiting FAA license approval for its second flight test.
SpaceX's initial launch license allowed it to conduct just one launch and the company will now have to ask for a change of the license to allow for more launches. SpaceX will also have to demonstrate that it has implemented corrective measures, the agency said.
Elon Musk said Tesla's robotaxi remains mum on the $25K model two.
