U.S. Gov's FAA is proposing to amend space launch licensing regulations to "reduce regulatory burden" for space operators.

The proposed rule would waive requirements from 13 federal laws for certain commercial space licenses including: National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, parts of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and several other and natural resource laws.

The proposal is now open for a 30-day public comment period. https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/liftoff-trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-announces-major-move-streamline

>> Relativity Space’s Terran R - heavy-lift, two-stage vehicle engineered to serve deep-space cargo and large constellation deployments.

>> Rocket Lab’s Neutron - medium-lift vehicle utilizing a proprietary lightweight carbon composite structure, powered by seven in-house liquid oxygen and methane engines

>> PLD Space’s Miura 5 - two-stage small-to-medium vehicle engineered to deliver ~ 1,000 kgs payload capacity direct to low-Earth orbit (LEO).

All three systems are expected to conduct integrated system test flights, full-scale hotfire verifications, and launch pad activations in 2H 2026. https://satnews.com/2026/07/20/commercial-launch-providers-advance-next-generation-heavy-and-medium-lift-vehicle-milestones-ahead-of-2026-debuts/ #Space #SpaceLaunch #CommercialLaunch #SpaceLaunchVehicle #Satellites #RelativitySpace #TerranR #RocketLab #Neutron #PLD #Miura5

>> PLD Space’s Miura 5 - two-stage small-to-medium vehicle engineered to deliver ~ 1,000 kgs payload capacity direct to low-Earth orbit (LEO).

All three systems are expected to conduct integrated system test flights, full-scale hotfire verifications, and launch pad activations in 2H 2026. https://satnews.com/2026/07/20/commercial-launch-providers-advance-next-generation-heavy-and-medium-lift-vehicle-milestones-ahead-of-2026-debuts/ #Space #SpaceLaunch #CommercialLaunch #SpaceLaunchVehicle #Satellites #RelativitySpace #TerranR #RocketLab #Neutron #PLD #Miura5

🛰️ Mission: Flight 13 [Test Flight]
🕒 Launched on: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 22:51:00 UTC 
☄️ Status: The launch vehicle has lifted off from the launchpad.
🚀 Launcher: Starship V3
🏗️ Launch Provider: SpaceX → [89 launches this year]
🌍 Launch Site: Orbital Launch Pad 2 at SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA 🇺🇸

📺 Watch Live: 1

📡 Mission Description:
13th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. Second flight of Starship V3.

For the first time, Starship will carry 20 V3 Starlink satellites to space, which will extend solar arrays and antennas and will attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa and the larger Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers.

6 of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions. Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test.
