Next month it seems certain there will be a successful recovery of fairings using the specially-designed net should be a simple matter of tweaking recovery hardware and software and using a slightly larger parafoil.
Mr. Steven pulling into port in San Pedro with a beautifully intact fairing. Next attempt at catching the fairing in the ship’s net is about a month away! #spaceX #paz @teslarati #starlink pic.twitter.com/FM2tpowktL
