The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered SpaceX to conduct an investigation into the failure of its Starship V3 booster during a test flight on May 22. This directive halts any further Starship test launches until the investigation is concluded and results are submitted for FAA approval. The mishap occurred shortly after the Super Heavy booster separated from the Starship, when it suffered an apparent engine failure, causing it to tumble and likely explode upon hitting the Gulf of Mexico. This flight was the first for SpaceX's upgraded Starship version, which included significant design changes and new third-generation Raptor engines aimed at enhancing reliability. The FAA will supervise the investigation and must approve SpaceX's final report, including any corrective measures. This setback poses a challenge for SpaceX as it prepares for its anticipated IPO in mid-June, as the success of Starship is critical for the company's growth, particularly for its Starlink service, which is its main revenue source.
