FAA closes investigation into SpaceX Starship explosion.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has closed its investigation into the explosion of SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy Orbital Test flight in late 2021, agreeing with the company's proposed 17 corrective actions. SpaceX identified the root causes of the incident and implemented new leak reduction measures, fire protection, and refined operations. Before proceeding with the next launch, SpaceX must implement all corrective actions and receive a license modification from the FAA, addressing safety, environmental, and other regulatory requirements.
