The first of the two SpaceX plans for Spaceship launching sites on the Florida space coast was launched last week, and it plans the company’s plans to fly 76 times a year from Cape Cape Space Station.
The Air Force Department owns the Space Launch Complex 37 assets last used by United Launch Alliance, but it was closed after the last ULA Delta IV Heavy Rocket in 2024.
The Air Force has started to run on the site, and the Federal Aviation Administration has its own Starship launching website at the Kennedy Space Center start complex 39, where SpaceX plans to perform as many as 44 Starship.
120 combined potential launches would increase the SpaceX already amazing pace. With the existing Falcon Rockets, the company could easily run more than 200 launches from Space Coast within one year.
Although the former ULA site has always been an opportunity, SpaceX has also visited a brand new launch complex, known as SLC-50, but has just been released to go, which has removed it as a potentially harmful and archaeologist, as the proposed site is currently underdeveloped.
“Creating the SLC-50 is less ideal than the existing SLC reorganization,” the report states. “In addition, using existing infrastructure would increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact.”
The final version of the EIS is expected to be released in the fall. But first and foremost, a series of many personal meetings, as well as one virtual presentation, is planned during the comment period, which will open from June 13 to July 28.
Three public meetings will take place on Tuesday, July 8, from 4 pm to 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 9, at the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum in Titusville, from 4 pm to 5 p.m. In the Radisson resort at Cape Cape, and Thursday, 10 July, from 4 pm to 5 p.m. Dr. Joe Lee Smith Entertainment Center in Coco. The virtual meeting will take place on July 15-28. The link that will be published on the Special Cape Canaver EIS website SpaceforcestarsHipeiss.com.
The project describes the potential effect of starting and landing Starship, which is the most powerful rocket that has ever entered into space. So far, SpaceX has only started it on Suborbital test missions from its Texas website Starbas. The first two 2025 Pilot shows ended in the Starship upper stage, in a collapsed performance that could be seen from the South Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean. The latest turned out to be better, but still saw the Starship uncontrollable on its sideway around the world.
But already, SpaceX is a $ 1.8 billion in the middle of the infrastructure project Space Coast to create the Starship plant and support what is expected to be the start -up site Cape Canaal and one KSC. SpaceX has recently announced that he is seeking his first Starship launch from the space coat until the end of the year, but will be accepted for this and then confirmation to start with FAA.
So far, Starship is based on the SPACEX results in the results of its latest Starship failure.
The Air Force will go to the Canaver’s website by describing SpaceX’s intentions not only to run 76 times, but also to have twice as much landing: 76 for a powerful super heavy amplifier that will return a few minutes after launch, and 76 for a reversible upper stage, which can return to its mission within hours or even potentially after start -up.
SpaceX would consist of two launch pads and two landing cushions between the new infrastructure.
Half of the start will be at night, and some returning landings could still happen at sea, as most of the Falcon 9 start -up booster landing using the droneships deployed in the Atlantic Ocean.
While the Air Force is taking the initiative, the FAA, NASA, US Coast Guard, US fish and wildlife service and the National Park Office will also include.
Not only the environment, but also the social, economic, historical and cultural influences.
For each of the 68 potential effects, the EIS project concluded that, at worst, it would have no effect or significant effect.
“The only known potential significant cumulative effect is the noise,” the EIS states. “Given the increase in CCSF and KSC, community annoyance can increase in the surrounding areas.”
Returning amplifiers and upper -stage sounds would become more frequent and potentially louder than those who currently hear along the space coast from smaller Falcon 9 amplifiers.
Some other effects, especially those related to endangered and threats that can be found during construction, can be softened.
“The habitat of southeast beach mice, permanently lost during construction, would be softened by providing funding to compensate for the loss of habitats at the location, according to the agreement with USFWS,” the report states as an example.
There is a special inscription that says that if triangular bats are found in place, they will be allowed to leave before the demolition begins.
There are also plans for Florida scrubbing Jays, Eastern Indigo snakes, gopher turtles and bare eagles.
The report also noted that Starship starting from Canaveral will benefit economically.
And he pointed out the Delta 45 device of Space Force spaceIs it which supervises the launch operations for both the KSC and the Canaveral, relying on the SPACEX competitors not to be directed to the side.
“SLD 45 would be aimed at reducing planning conflicts between startup service providers and prepared mitigation strategies to reduce the effects of conflicts,” the report states.
The purpose of the Air Force and the Spacex was to ensure that SpaceX could start its new missile as part of the space access to the Space Program.
“(Proposed launching site) would increase US DOD, NASA and other federal and commercial customers’ space launch mission and increase the resistance and capacity of the nation’s space launch infrastructure while promoting the strong and competitive national space industry,” the report said.
