SpaceX still pending FAA license authorization for Starship launch

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — SpaceX is still pending FAA license authorization less than a day before the expected third launch of Starship out of Boca Chica.

ValleyCentral reached out to Federal Aviation Administration, which said it has not yet given license authorization for the SpaceX Starship OFT-3 launch, as of Wednesday morning.

The FAA's operation plan advisory included a time and date for the expected launch, despite the lack of authorization at the time.

Elon Musk shared SpaceX's post of the fully stacked Starship, adding that the flight is expected at the end of the week, pending weather.

ValleyCentral will bring updates as the launch window nears, as well as a livestream of the launch.
