FAA启动环评：SpaceX拟将Starbase星舰年发射量从25次提至最高456次 公众意见征集至11月30日
德州Boca Chica消息——美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）已发布意向通知，将就SpaceX大幅提高星舰发射频次的计划编制纲要性环境影响报告（PEIS）。按SpaceX的方案，其位于德州Starbase的Boca Chica发射场，星舰年发射量将从现行获批的25次分两阶段提至最高456次，年着陆次数上限从50次提至912次。
FAA刊登在《联邦公报》的通知（案卷号FAA-2026-12808）显示，第一阶段年发射上限为100次、着陆200次，发射可在一周内任意日期、任意时段进行；第二阶段将在数年内随运载器成熟而实施，年发射上限提至456次、着陆912次，但发射仅限周一至周五。912次的着陆上限将涵盖从其他地点发射后返回Starbase的星舰与超重型助推器，两者也可选择在美国湾溅落或在飞行中主动消耗。
现行的每年25次发射、50次着陆上限源自FAA 2025年批准的一份环境评估。此次环评将考察计划对野生动物、空气质量、噪声、海岸资源与周边社区的潜在影响。FAA将于11月17日在Brownsville、11月19日在Port Isabel举行公众意见会，11月18日另设线上场次，书面意见征集至2026年11月30日。
星舰今年9月28日完成第14次飞行、首次进入轨道，并部署了26颗星链V3卫星。今年以来星舰已从Starbase发射三次。SpaceX首席执行官马斯克表示，希望在今年年底前让飞船与助推器双双返回Starbase回收。（GSM 据FAA《联邦公报》通知报道）
FAA Opens Environmental Review of SpaceX Plan to Raise Starbase Starship Launches From 25 to as Many as 456 a Year
BOCA CHICA, Texas — The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice of intent to prepare a programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) for SpaceX's proposal to sharply increase Starship operations at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, raising annual launches from the currently authorised 25 to as many as 456, with annual landings rising from 50 to as many as 912.
Under the two-phase plan described in the Federal Register notice (docket FAA-2026-12808), Phase 1 would allow up to 100 launches and 200 landings a year on any day and at any hour. Phase 2, which the FAA says would arrive within several years as the vehicle matures, would lift the ceiling to 456 launches and 912 landings a year, with liftoffs limited to Monday through Friday though still possible around the clock. The landing cap counts Starship and Super Heavy vehicles returning to Starbase even when a flight originated elsewhere; boosters could alternatively splash down in the Gulf of America or be intentionally expended.
The current limits of 25 launches and 50 landings a year date to a 2025 FAA environmental assessment. The new review will examine potential effects on wildlife, air quality, noise, coastal resources and surrounding communities. Public scoping meetings are scheduled in Brownsville on November 17 and Port Isabel on November 19, with an online session on November 18; written comments are being accepted through November 30, 2026.
Starship has launched three times from Starbase so far this year; its 14th flight, on September 28, was the first to reach orbit, deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites. Chief Executive Elon Musk has said he hopes to return both the ship and the booster to Starbase by the end of the year. (GSM, via the FAA's Federal Register notice)
