February 23rd news, this week, officials from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) disclosed that SpaceX wants to "at least" launch 9 stunies this year. "Their launch plan this year is quite aggressive this years launch plan is quite aggressive this year.. "
SpaceX may be performed from the star ship base in southern Texas in the next three weeks in the next three weeks to perform the first Star Ship launches in 2024.At present, the company is putting pressure on the regulatory agency in order to increase its annual launch.
At a press conference this week, Kelvin Coleman, the commercial space transportation director of FAA, said that they are cooperating with SpaceX in order to be for the interstellar spacecraft.The launch approval procedure provides greater convenience."Their launch plan this year is extremely aggressive," Corman said."I am convinced that they plan to complete the launch at least 9 times, which is a considerable number in the number of launch. If it is modified once again and again, the workload will be very huge. We have been communicating day and night with SpaceX to discuss together to discuss togetherHow can we achieve this goal. We have high hopes for this company, so we will cooperate with them so that they can restore launch activities as soon as possible. "

SpaceX was approved to launch at most five times in southern Texas each year.This time FAA officials confirmed that SpaceX is currently seeking to modify this limit, hoping to increase the frequency of launch.The next launch will be launched next month?
The interstellar ship system is the largest rocket built by humans so farThe purpose is to achieve completely reusable use.SpaceX launched a complete Star Shipping System for the first time in April 2023.That flight caused serious damage to the launch ground near Boccaca Beach, and a large number of concrete fragments and dust were spread to the surrounding wetlands, causing a series of environmental problems.Corman mentioned that it took about six months to investigate and supervise the situation after the flight. He believed that the time cycle was matched with the workload involved.
SpaceXs second launch in November of the same year is even more successful. The flight of the first -level super heavy booster is basically normal.It was abnormal and lost.This launch did not cause any damage on the ground.Corman said that FAAs investigation of this launch was only one -third of the previous time.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, said the company currently plans to conduct a third launch attempt to launch the Starcraft System from early March to mid -March this year.Musk believes that this flight is likely to successfully enter the track.Corman said that from the perspective of supervision, this timetable sounded "roughly correct."
Regulatory increase
At the U.S. Congress hearing in October last year, SpaceX is responsible for building a spacecraft and andBill Gerstenmaier, vice president of ensuring flight reliability, expressed his desire to see that he hopes to see that the two houses in the United States can provide more resources for FAAs license review procedures.As the number of rocket launch in the United States increased from dozens of times a year to more than 100 times, more and more emerging companies are seeking approval of regulatory agencies to carry out aerospace activities.FAA is expected to approve more than 150 space launch and return to the ground this year. The main task is to protect the people and property on the ground and avoid potential harm caused by space flight activities.
"Well, I think Gustenmels view is correct," Corman said. "I really appreciate his efforts in fighting for more resources."
Corman recalled that when he joined the FAAs commercial space transportation department in 1996, there were only 40 employees in the entire department.Ten years ago, this number increased to 73, and now there are 143 employees.His department is actively recruiting, hoping to increase the total number of employees to 157. The recruitment location includes Florida, California, Texas, and Washington Special Administrative Region.
"At present, we have about 140 employees, and they are working all out," Corman said."We are not only working overtime on weekends, but also work late at night. We do need more people." (Chen Chen)
