US Air Force Halts SpaceX Rocket Project on Pacific Atoll
According to Jinse Finance, on July 4 local time, the U.S. Air Force has suspended SpaceX's plan to test hypersonic rocket cargo transport from a Pacific atoll. A spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force stated that the Air Force is exploring alternative locations for the project. The project aims to test a reusable rocket landing vehicle capable of delivering up to 100 tons of cargo to any location on Earth in about 90 minutes. Previously, biologists and experts expressed concerns that the project would endanger many seabirds nesting in the Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Air Force had announced plans to conduct an environmental assessment for the project, but the release of the draft assessment was delayed due to opposition from environmental organizations.
