And they’re off! SpaceX’s fairing-catching vessels, Ms. Chief and Ms. Tree, have departed Port Canaveral ahead of an attempt to catch Falcon 9’s fairing halves during Monday’s launch of 60 Starlink satellites.

SpaceX team has completed 13 successful tests in a row of upgraded Mark 3 parachutes for Crew Dragon. Most recent test demonstrated the parachute system’s ability to land the spacecraft safely in the unlikely event that one of the four main parachutes fails.

Hello! As you may have noticed, SpaceXUpdates has been quiet recently. This is mainly due to me starting college and a distinct lack of launches or news lately. I hope to be ramping back up again soon as some launches and important events approach!
