SpaceX could be nearing the next launch of its Starship rocket as soon as Friday, according to a federal document, almost seven months after the massive vehicle was grounded in the wake of its explosive debut flight.

The US Federal Aviation Administration identified Nov. 17 as a possible launch date, with Nov. 18 and 19 as backups, according to an advisory posted on its website. The information was contained in the agency’s daily air-traffic operations plan, which includes notices to airlines and others on potential flight delays in the system.
