 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.

+IFT-12 is technically ready (Ship 39 and Booster 19 both completed full-duration static fires April 15-16, 2026), but the FAA investigation from the IFT-11 anomaly remains the sole blocking gate with no closure date announced. This confirms the pattern that institutional timelines, not technical readiness, constrain Starship cadence.
