The FAA's federal action is to modify SpaceX's existing vehicle operator license to authorize SpaceX's proposed action to increase the cadence of the Starship/Super Heavy launch program at the Boca Chica vertical launch area to up to 25 annual launches and 50 total annual landings.
This would be a major acceleration in the cadence of SpaceX's launches and would make Starship launches a much more frequent occurrence than previously.
SpaceX recently had roughly a month between their last two Starship launches; we would see two per month if SpaceX and the FAA approve the newly revised plan.
Currently, only 10 Starship landings and five Super Heavy landings are permitted each year. These would both be boosted up to 25.
