Investigation remains open as of April 30, 2026, delaying IFT-12 from April target to May 2026 NET despite both flight vehicles completing static fires by mid-April.

The approval indicates the April 6 incident was either not a safety concern for the upcoming launch or was resolved through the investigation process.
