SpaceX Recovers Starship After 24 Days at Sea
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
After approximately 24 days at sea, SpaceX's recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location near the coast of Christmas Island. The spacecraft, known as Starship Flight 13, was launched from SpaceX's facilities at Starbase, Texas, on July 24. Following its test flight, the vehicle performed a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean and subsequently began a complex recovery operation. Now, a team of SpaceX engineers is heading to the site to conduct further analysis of the vehicle in calmer waters. The company aims to assess the condition of the spacecraft before attempting to transport it back to the United States. The next step will be to determine how and when Starship can be returned to Starbase in Cameron County, where SpaceX develops, manufactures, and tests its Starship vehicles. Meanwhile, Starship remains near Christmas Island, where its arrival has attracted the attention of residents and visitors who have come to the coast to observe the massive spacecraft.
