    SpaceX clears environmental hurdle for US launch

    The rocket that Elon Musk hopes will one day help humans populate Mars has passed its biggest regulatory hurdle, though it still needs to clear a thicket of other red tape before its first launch. 

    The US Federal Aviation Administration on Monday approved the launch on environmental grounds, ending months of delays as other regulatory agencies became involved in the process. The first launch would have been set back years if the FAA had not gone along with a request from Musk’s company SpaceX for an accelerated approval process.

    However, the FAA listed a series of other environmental clearances SpaceX will need from other agencies before it can go ahead with the first launch. These range from passing state-level air emissions tests to addressing the rocket’s impact on endangered species, although the federal agency pointed to actions the company had already taken to mitigate these. 

    The finished environmental process does not guarantee that the FAA will issue a launch licence, the agency said. The FAA said it will make a licence determination only after SpaceX provides all outstanding information and the agency can fully analyse it.

    The so-called Super Heavy rocket, dubbed Starship, could turn into the most disruptive launch system since SpaceX’s own Falcon rockets, which have become the main workhorse for lifting payloads into orbit and taking US astronauts to the International Space Station. According to SpaceX, Starship will be capable of lifting more than 100 tons into orbit and drastically undercut the cost of other launch systems.

    “The major hurdle has been cleared, and while they need to be in compliance with a number of things, it’s fantastic news for the space sector,” said Laetitia Garriott de Cayeaux, an investor in SpaceX and other private space ventures. She predicted the first Starship launch would come before the end of the year.

    SpaceX asked the FAA to approve Starship launches from its site in south Texas under an existing environmental approval it received in 2014. The National Environmental Policy Act allows such changes to existing clearance when they are not judged to be significant.

    Critics have claimed that, by going along with SpaceX, the regulators have made excessive concessions to get Starship off the launch pad. Besides a rocket that is far bigger than the Falcon 9s first cleared for the site, SpaceX’s application envisaged a significant increase in the infrastructure needed to support its bigger rocket, including a power plant, a natural gas liquefaction facility and a desalination plant.

    The project had faced backlash from environmentalists. SpaceX has had several rocket explosions that endangered local communities, according to the Sierra Club, an environmental group. SpaceX operations have led to prolonged closures of Boca Chica beach, violating the Texas constitution, Sierra Club has alleged. 

    To mitigate these concerns, SpaceX has agreed to pay at least $15,000 a year for fishing and wildlife preservation, the FAA said.

    The FAA said rocket engine tests and launches would have little impact on the local air quality, and that the project’s greenhouse gas emissions are not likely to impact global climate change. Additionally, noisy rockets “are not expected to cause general annoyance or pose health concerns”, the FAA said.
