SpaceX recently retrieved parts of its Starship Super Heavy booster from the sea. This booster was part of the most recent Starship test flight, which took place on June 6, 202412. Elon Musk shared photos on social media showing the damaged rocket hardware being lifted out of the ocean2.
The retrieved pieces include parts of the first-stage booster, which had successfully reached orbital velocity before splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico2. The recovery of these components is likely part of SpaceX’s efforts to analyze the hardware and improve future launches2.
