The FAA says one set of fines totaling $350,000 is related to a June 18th, 2023 launch in which SpaceX used an “unapproved launch control room for the PSN SATRIA mission,” and skipped a required “T-2 hour readiness poll.” The company had requested approval for the changes in May, the FAA says, but never got it.

The agency proposed $633,009 in civil penalties against SpaceX for allegedly failing to follow its license requirements.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk accused the FAA of "regulator overreach" and said his aerospace company would sue the federal agency. The FAA had proposed $633,000 against SpaceX.

SpaceX pushed one of its most-used boosters to its limits with a launch Tuesday evening from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

With the previous Galileo launch this year, SpaceX disposed of the booster, which means allowing it to drop unrecovered into the Atlantic Ocean, to allow for additional power to get the satellites into their intended orbit.

SpaceX is watching the weather ahead of Tuesday's Falcon 9 launch of the European Commission's Galileo L13 mission, which will carry its navigation satellite constellation to medium Earth orbit.
