The Federal Aviation Administration has announced public scoping meetings on a proposal to expand SpaceX Starship–Super Heavy operations at Starbase.
Two meetings are scheduled in Port Isabel on November 19, 2026, from 1–3 p.m. and 5:30–7:30 p.m. Central at the Port Isabel Event & Cultural Center, 309 Railroad Street. Brownsville meetings are scheduled November 17, and a registration-required virtual meeting is scheduled November 18.
The FAA describes a proposed first phase of up to 100 annual launches and a second phase of up to 456 annual launches. These are proposed operating levels under environmental review, not newly approved launch authorizations.
The public comment period closes November 30, 2026. The FAA says schedule changes will appear on its project website.
