The FAA states in its proposal SpaceX violated a licensing requirement in June 2023 when it launched one of its Falcon 9 rockets with the mission objective of delivering an Indonesian communications satellite called Satria to orbit. According to the FAA SpaceX submitted a request to revise its communications plan a month before the launch took place. Notably, the communications plan is linked to SpaceX receiving a launch license. As for the violation, the FAA claims SpaceX requested in its communications plan revision a new control room and the abdication of the mandatory readiness check of the rocket two hours before a scheduled launch. The regulator claims when SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket in June 2023 it had not approved both of these requests, which the FAA believes amounts to two fines of $175,000 each ($350,000). The other violation was from a Falcon Heavy launch that occurred in July, 2023. According to FAA, SpaceX used an unapproved fuel farm as the source of the rocket's propellant, which the FAA believes amounts to a $283,009 civil penalty.
