New documents reveal SpaceX's plans for launching Mars-rocket prototypes from South Texas
The Federal Aviation Administration's "written reevaluation" is SpaceX's ticket to launching orbital-class Starship prototypes from Boca Chica, Texas.

SpaceX is asking federal regulators to allow it to spread out Starlink satellites in more rings around the Earth.
<b>Community Starship Loads Model: Chapter 3 - LD0.1 Release!</b>
Hello again! I know I said last time I would wait until after Elon's next update, but I've been hard at work and I think we've got enough to cover for a major update. First of all, if you're behind and want a full re-cap, you can see my previous posts linked below. In short: I'm interested in studying Starship from a structural perspective. The first major project I'm doing in this realm is called a "Loads Model" which is basically a coarse Finite Element Model (FEM) with simplifications and optimizations made to the vehicle in an effort to balance complexity (bad) and accuracy (good). I'm doing this because I'm interested in it and I want to master the skill-set.Previous Posts: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/awy9t1/cslm_an_introduction_to_my_latest_project/">Chapter 1</a>, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/cgmvxi/community_starship_loads_model_chapter_2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x">Chapter 2</a>.1 Modeling and Geometry1.1 GeometryI previously showed the OML. Since then I've created some basic internal structure. There are currently 3 basic types of parts included:Skins - Fuselage, Canards, Fins, and Tail. Each one has at least 1 property to change thickness as desired.Bulkhead - Personally, I make a minor distinction between bulkheads and domes. Both are oriented normal to the fuselage longitudinal direction (X-axis). Bulkheads serve the primary purpose of providing transverse support (fuselage bending).Domes - Domes serve the primary purpose of capping a pressure vessel, and have significant out-of-plane load.All of these objects can be seen in Fig 1 below.​<a href="https://i.redd.it/jl89cl92j9l31.png">Fig 1.

The dome base (the largest section) is located at approximately X 44.45.Forward of the Lower dome we have the Common Dome. Same story here.

SpaceX FCC Filing - Starship Comms Supporting suborbital test out of Boca Chica
Quote from FCC filing: "This STA is necessary to authorize Starship suborbital test vehicle communications for SpaceX Mission 1569 from the Boca Chica launch pad, and the experimental recovery following the suborbital launch. Recovery is limited to 2 functions: (1) prelaunch checkout test of the TC uplink from the ground station at Boca Chica (less than five minutes in duration) and (2) experimental uplink testing from the ground station at Boca Chica during descent. Trajectory data will be provided directly to NTIA, USAF, and NASA. All downrange Earth stations are receive-only. Launch licensing authority is FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation."Link: https://fcc.report/ELS/Space-Exploration-Technologies-Corp-SpaceX/1631-EX-ST-2019

Launching F9sim (Falcon 9 - First Stage Simulator)
I'm happy to announce the launch of F9sim (Falcon 9 - First Stage Simulator). This application uses engineering equations to simulate the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket in real-time with structural, aerodynamic and engine performance telemetry data live on-screen. You can draw curves to control throttle modulation, vehicle attitude, setup triggers to control Main Engine Cut Off (MECO) and Stage Separation points and compare the accuracy of the results with a real video playing at same time.The application is still being developed, therefore, the experience includes the launching stage and it goes on up to the separation of the second stage.You are invited to join this project!, make and share your own simulations and help to improve the accuracy of the results.For more information and download link, please visit:http://f9sim.mcrenox.com.arFalcon 9 - First Stage SimulatorThis application is intended only for educational purposes and can be freely distributed.
