A statement from the FAA along with some additional information.

#LaunchSchedule #SpaceX #Starbase #Starship #StarshipFlightTest #IFT3

The final B9 and S25 mishap investigation reports cited seventeen (17) corrective actions for SpaceX to implement. Seven (7) booster corrective actions were identified, including redesigns of vehicle hardware to increase tank filtration and reduce slosh, updated thrust vector control system modelling, reevaluation of engine analyses based on OFT-2 data, and updated engine control algorithms. Ten (10) starship corrective actions were identified, including hardware redesigns to increase robustness and reduce complexity, hardware changes to reduce leaks, operational changes eliminating pre-second engine cutoff propellant dumps, flammability analysis updates, installation of additional fire protection, creation of analytical guidance, performance of transient load analysis, and modeling updates.
