That SpaceX was so quickly able to remedy these items is hardly a surprise given that the company participated in the investigation and helped to devise the mitigation plan , and given SpaceX’s desire to get Starship flying as soon as possible.Of the 63 items, Musk clarified that six pertain to subsequent flights of the in-development megarocket . While Musk has publicly announced this progress on social media, the final assessment of the addressed tasks rests with the FAA.
Musk’s tweet on September 10 further elucidated the corrective actions he claims have been completed. Some of the items listed included the addition of over 90 cameras to detect booster leakage, better tank sensing, stronger booster bolts, backup wires, added insulation, more methane sensors, increased scrutiny on leak checks, flight safety system design improvements, and a change to the Raptor engine shutdown logic, among others.
SpaceX’s Starship is designed as a fully reusable spacecraft intended for a wide range of missions, from deploying satellites, shipping cargo, and landing on the Moon and Mars. The company is currently working under multiple NASA contracts, requiring SpaceX to demonstrate Starship as a feasible human landing system for the space agency’s upcoming Artemis missions to the Moon.
