Ship 40 Recovery Operations
Ship 40, the upper stage used on SpaceX's Starship Flight 13 which unexpectedly survived its soft water landing in the Indian Ocean, has been recovered by a semi-submersible heavy transport ship named Forte just off the coast of Kiritimati (Christmas Island). Forte will now deliver Ship 40 all the way back to Starbase in Texas, which is expected to take around a month. [Source: NSF]
