+# LC-39A Starship Operations
+
+**Type:** Launch facility expansion
+**Location:** Kennedy Space Center, Florida
+**Operator:** SpaceX
+**Status:** FAA-approved, infrastructure construction in progress
+**First launch:** Late 2026 (projected)
+
+## Overview
+
+LC-39A Starship Operations represents SpaceX's expansion of Starship launch capability to Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The facility will co-locate Starship operations with existing Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy infrastructure at the historic Launch Complex 39A pad (Apollo 11 and Space Shuttle heritage site).
+
+## Regulatory Approval
+
+On January 30, 2026, the FAA released its final environmental impact statement and record of decision approving:
+- **44 Starship-Super Heavy launches per year** from LC-39A
+- **88 landings per year** (44 Super Heavy booster + 44 Starship upper stage)
+- Ocean landings permitted on droneships in Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans
+- Environmental assessment covered 14 categories (air quality, wildlife, noise); most impacts rated "no impact, negligible, or less than significant"
+
+## Strategic Significance
+
+The LC-39A approval creates a 69 launch/year combined regulatory ceiling when added to Starbase's 25 launches/year approval (May 2025). This removes the regulatory constraint on Starship cadence, shifting the binding bottleneck to technical execution.
+
+The Florida site provides:
+- **Geographic redundancy:** If Starbase faces regulatory or technical delays, LC-39A maintains cadence
+- **Shared infrastructure:** Co-location with Falcon operations enables shared ground systems, propellant logistics, and workforce
+- **Atlantic launch corridors:** Direct access to Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean landing zones
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-01-30** — FAA approves 44 launches/year and 88 landings/year
+- **Late 2026** — First Starship launch from LC-39A (projected, contingent on infrastructure completion)
