Musk's SpaceX receives approval from the U.S. to increase Starship launches in Texas

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has authorized SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace company, to increase the number of Starship launches in the state of Texas.

According to the FAA — the equivalent of Brazil's ANAC — SpaceX's proposal to increase the annual launch frequency is not expected to cause significant environmental impacts in the region, which allowed for the expansion to be approved.

According to Reuters, the authorization permits Musk's company to carry out at least 25 Starship launches per year. Previously, SpaceX had permission to conduct only 5 launches annually, according to The New York Times.
