SpaceX is preparing for a new phase of Starship launches at Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) located at NASAβs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company plans to conduct up to 44 launches and 88 landings annually at this site, split evenly between Starship and its booster, Super Heavy. To support these operations, SpaceX will install up to 12 Tesla Megapacks, providing a power capacity of 24 MW/48 MWh. Infrastructure upgrades at LC-39A include a new launch mount and enhanced propellant facilities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released a Draft Environmental Assessment for the Starship Super Heavy launches at this complex. SpaceXβs Starbase teams have been actively responding to the June 18 Ship 36 incident, with hopes for a successful flight later in August. The upcoming test flight involves unprecedented testing methods for the Starship, which experts suggest could be transformative for the worldβs most powerful rocket. Preparations also include detailed planning for trajectory ranges, reentry corridors into Florida, and logistics for hardware transport to the Kennedy Space Center. These developments underscore SpaceXβs commitment to advancing its Starship program and increasing launch cadence at a key Florida site.
