The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it proposing to fine SpaceX $633,000 for allegedly failing to follow license requirements and not getting approval for changes during two launches in 2023. The FAA said SpaceX failed to get approval to revise its communications plan related to its license to launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida including adding a new launch control room at Hangar X and removing the T-2 hour readiness poll from its procedures before a June 2023 launch. The FAA also said SpaceX used an unapproved rocket propellant farm before a July 2023 mission.

CNN —The Department of Transportation’s internal watchdog said Tuesday it is launching a probe into the spike in flight cancellations and delays that have come in the wake of the pandemic. The Office of the Inspector General audit will focus on the federal agency’s role in these cancellations, rather than the airlines. The IG wants to find out both the causes of the delays and cancellations as well as the accuracy of the government’s data around flight disruptions. This will be first in a series of audits to understand and evaluate flight delays and cancellations as well as DOT’s actions to address them,” the memo stated. The IG also announced a separate audit of the FAA’s planned NextGen effort to upgrade the air traffic system, a multibillion-dollar infrastructure program.
