SpaceX has fixed 57 flaws and prepared the Starship rocket for a second attempt at its first orbital flight

Almost 5 months have passed since the first attempt to send the Starship spacecraft on a test orbital flight. Elon Musk has reiterated that SpaceX is ready for a second launch.

Here's What We Know

In April, Starship exploded at an altitude of almost 40 kilometres after three minutes of flight. The rocket system damaged the launch pad and caused environmental damage. In this regard, the U.S. authorities launched an investigation and forced SpaceX to eliminate a number of defects to prevent a similar situation in the future.

Last week, Ilon Musk announced that Starship is ready for orbital flight. However, the Federal Aviation Administration said SpaceX had not yet fixed all the problems. The regulator ordered the company to fix 63 flaws. Without this, the second launch attempt will not be authorised.

The day before, Elon Musk said that SpaceX was able to fix 57 flaws. That's enough for authorities to approve a second Starship launch attempt. The remaining six items relate to future flights of the spacecraft.
