TL;DR

SpaceX will shift all Dragon missions from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A to Cape Canaveral’s SLC-40, freeing 39A for Falcon Heavy work and potential early Starship flights. NASA says 39A could still be used for crewed launches if needed. The FAA has approved infrastructure plans at Cape Canaveral to support Starship, allowing up to 44 launches and 88 landings per year and detailing environmental and water-use requirements, with a Florida Starship launch window that could arrive in the second half of 2026.
