The US Federal Aviation Administration announced on the 13th that it has completed the investigation into the abnormal accident of the 12th test flight of the American Space Exploration Technology Corporation's heavy launch vehicle “Starship”, accepted the corrective measures proposed by the company, and allowed it to carry out the 13th test flight. The Space Exploration Technology Company announced on the same day that it plans to carry out the 13th “Starship” test flight as early as the 16th. Starship carried out its 12th test flight on May 22 this year. This is the first time that the new-generation “Starship” system has been tested as a whole, with the aim of verifying key technologies after multiple upgrades. During the test flight, the rocket's first stage “super heavy” booster failed to complete return braking combustion, then crashed into the Gulf of Mexico in an uncontrolled state.
