Department of the Air Force approves conversion of Cape Canaveral SLC‑37 for SpaceX Starship‑Super Heavy operations

• The DAF Record of Decision formally authorizes SLC‑37's conversion into a Starship launch and landing complex at Cape Canaveral, a regulatory milestone that enables Starship operations beyond Starbase and alters range use at a major U.S. spaceport.
• The decision intersects with broader infrastructure and range changes already underway — including the Space Force's review of launch range upgrades to support reusable boosters and the FAA/DAF actions that cleared expanded Falcon 9 activity at Cape (including applications for up to 120 launches/year) — and therefore changes operational options and capacity on the U.S. eastern range.
