The FAA has concluded its investigation into SpaceX's Starship-Super Heavy test, endorsing the company's root causes and corrective measures for the failed November 18 flight.

The flight achieved launch and stage separation, but ended in the destruction of both the booster and the Starship.

SpaceX proposed 17 corrective actions, comprising hardware redesigns and operational improvements.

The FAA categorized the event as a 'mishap' and mandated SpaceX to lead the probe, but has not yet authorized another orbital test.

SpaceX is seeking FAA approval for increased launch frequency and is actively working to align with regulatory standards for future flights.

Upcoming test features include an electric steering system for the Raptors and in-flight fuel transfer capabilities.

NASA and the Department of Defense anticipate Starship's completion for the Artemis III mission and enhanced cargo transport, respectively.

SpaceX maintains a 'build, fly and iterate' approach, with ambitious plans for Starship including deploying larger Starlink satellites and Mars colonization.
