This means that the company's plan to develop a fully reusable and rapidly deployable missile is imminent.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US government agency that certifies all flights, had previously said there would be no flights before November as it reviewed the company's permits.
The agency and Elon Musk have been at loggerheads since last month after the FAA said it wanted to fine SpaceX $633,000 for failing to comply with license conditions and failing to obtain permission for previous flights.
Before issuing a license, the FAA will consider the impact of the flight, particularly the impact on the environment.
In response to the fine, Musk threatened to sue the agency, and SpaceX posted a public blog post, striking back against "false reports" that part of the rocket was polluting the environment.
