The investigation was triggered in April 2026, six months after the October 2025 flight, suggesting ongoing post-flight data review rather than immediate post-flight analysis. This extends the investigation timeline beyond the immediate post-flight period and demonstrates the pattern applies even to SpaceX's most advanced vehicle. + + +## Supporting Evidence + +**Source:** SpaceX Fan Page, April 28, 2026 + +As of late April 2026, the FAA mishap investigation from the IFT-11 anomaly (around April 2, 2026) remains ongoing. FAA sign-off is a hard gate — SpaceX cannot fly IFT-12 until the investigation closes and corrective actions are approved, despite having FCC licenses ready through June 28. This confirms that regulatory investigation cycles, not vehicle readiness, remain the binding constraint on cadence. diff --git a/entities/space-development/starship-flight-13.md b/entities/space-development/starship-flight-13.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2eeaaf110 --- /dev/null +++ b/entities/space-development/starship-flight-13.md @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +# Starship Flight 13 + +**Type:** Integrated Flight Test +**Vehicle:** Starship V3 +**Status:** Planned +**Target Window:** May-June 2026 + +## Overview + +Starship Flight 13 (IFT-13) is the thirteenth integrated flight test of SpaceX's Starship launch system.

If both flights execute before the June 28 license expiration, it would demonstrate operational maturation beyond vehicle capability alone, compressing the reuse learning curve faster than any previous trajectory. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/inbox/queue/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md b/inbox/archive/space-development/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md similarity index 97% rename from inbox/queue/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md rename to inbox/archive/space-development/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md index 5843cf1c2..4868d3038 100644 --- a/inbox/queue/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md +++ b/inbox/archive/space-development/2026-04-28-starship-ift12-fcc-dual-license-may-june-2026.md @@ -7,10 +7,13 @@ date: 2026-04-28 domain: space-development secondary_domains: [] format: social-media-thread -status: unprocessed +status: processed +processed_by: astra +processed_date: 2026-04-28 priority: medium tags: [Starship, SpaceX, IFT-12, launch-cadence, FCC-license, FAA-investigation, V3, reusability] intake_tier: research-task +extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" --- ## Content
