SpaceX is allegedly aspiring for the Federal Aviation Administration to give a green light for its next flight. Elon Musk's company declared last week that it is arranging a comeback to space in January. The FAA has yet to provide SpaceX the required permit, Wired reported.

"They have not completed their investigation, and therefore they do not have an [FAA launch] license," the FAA spokesperson told Wired. The official added that the FAA "needs inspectors in place, we have to have air traffic control aware, we have to review payload," while likewise focusing on the allowing of a launch permit "could take a little while."

SpaceX still should persuade the administration office to settle the issue that caused a huge explosion amid the Falcon 9 rocket on Sept. 1 and must wrap up its request. On Wednesday, SpaceX presented a report on its official site saying it is "finalizing the investigation into our September 1 anomaly and are working to complete the final steps necessary to safely and reliably return to flight, now in early January with the launch of Iridium-1."

Musk said a month ago that his company trusts the mishap was caused by super-cooled oxygen coming to carbon fibre in the rocket's fuel tank.

If the flight happens in the month of January, the arrangement is to convey 10 Iridium Communications new NEXT satellite into low-earth orbit as a major aspect of their $492 million contract which was marked in 2010. The launch is required to take place at Vandenburg Air Force Base, found north of Los Angeles.

A week ago, Iridium reported that the launch would be on Dec. 16 and that it was all ready, an announcement that displayed trust in SpaceX after the Sept. 1 explosion at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida blew away the Space Communication Ltd's. $200 million satellite.
