马斯克旗下SpaceX获许可，佛罗里达州发射次数或超此前两倍！要为商业客户、美国国防部发射任务，还要发射星链卫星

Core Points - The article discusses the completion of a key environmental assessment by U.S. regulators, paving the way for SpaceX to potentially double the launch frequency of its Falcon 9 rocket from 50 to a maximum of 120 launches per year [2][3] - The assessment also approves the construction of a new landing zone at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which can accommodate up to 34 booster landings annually [2] - The report concluded with a "Mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact," indicating that the proposed changes will not significantly affect environmental quality [2] Environmental Management - The assessment determined that the likelihood of industrial wastewater, particularly from the "deluge system" during launches, contaminating nearby water bodies is very low [3] - The "deluge system" sprays large amounts of water to absorb heat and noise during rocket launches, which has previously faced scrutiny [3] - SpaceX still needs to obtain a formal modification of its launch license from the FAA to allow for the increased launch frequency, and approval from the U.S. Air Force is also required [3] Launch Frequency and Operations - Despite already being the most frequently launched rocket globally, SpaceX's launch schedule remains full, serving commercial clients, the U.S. Department of Defense, and launching its Starlink satellites [4] - The increase in launch frequency is expected to alleviate bottlenecks in operations, and the new dedicated landing zone may reduce turnaround time for boosters [4] - SpaceX is also planning to expand its launch frequency at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, aiming for up to 100 Falcon launches per year [4] Future Developments - Regulators are also evaluating a proposal to allow SpaceX to increase the launch frequency of its larger Starship rocket, designed for lunar and Martian missions [5]
