Description
Rocket Nose Cone Catcher boat Mr Steven, is being fitted with new arms. The new arms will support a much larger net to recover the fairings from launches acting as a giant catcher's mitt, The Falcon 9's payload fairing separates from the rocket's second stage. The fairing's two halves fall back to Earth SpaceX has outfitted the fairings with cold nitrogen thrusters that allow the shells to stabilize, and once they've slowed down enough (thanks to atmospheric drag), a GPS-equipped, steerable parachute (called a "parafoil") will deploy approximately 5 miles (8 km) above the water. If all goes according to plan, the parafoil will enable the fairing piece to glide gently into Mr. Steven's net.
