The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded SpaceX’s Starship launch vehicle program following an inflight anomaly involving its Super Heavy first-stage booster during Flight 12. In a statement released after the May 22, 2026 test from Boca Chica, Texas, the FAA classified the booster’s landing failure as a flight mishap, triggering a mandatory investigative process. Regulators said the operation did not meet planned safety metrics during the recovery phase, despite a nominal liftoff and ascent through maximum aerodynamic pressure. Starship Flight 12 was the first operational test of the enlarged Version 3 configuration, a fully reusable, two-stage system standing 124 meters tall.
