The US Federal Aviation Administration has approved the release of 3 more prototypes of the SpaceX Starship vehicle.
This was reported by "Reuters" agency, which said that the US administration had taken the decision to continue testing the "star vehicle" intended for space trips to Mars, after the company introduced some modifications in the design of its models, knowing that all previous tests failed and the models exploded.
The administration has stipulated that the Federal Aviation Administration safety inspector attends the "Buka-Chica" area in the state of Texas from where the Elon Musk "Starship" models are launched.
In addition, SpaceX must make adjustments to the design of the Starship SN16 and StarShip SN 17 models when it investigates their launch failures.
The administration did not mention a later test date for the "star vehicle", but only said that its inspector will arrive in the (Boca-Chica) region next Thursday to inspect the possible launch of the "Starship" model next week.
It is noteworthy that all past tests of "Starship" prototypes ended with the explosion of the vehicle, which Elon Musk announced that it will undertake an unmanned test flight in Earth orbit next year.
