We\u2019ve been waiting a while to see any sign that shows SpaceX\u2019s third droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas is nearing completion. This week, a few of those signs have shown up, proving that ASOG is getting reading for operation.<\/p>\n

Tug Finn Falgout arrives in port<\/h2>\n

Finn Falgout is one of the big players over on the east coast and has supported a large number of launches with SpaceX\u2019s other droneships. The tug arrived at the port and is currently docked near ASOG. Late last week it departed Port Canaveral and set its destination for Port Fourchon, which triggered the first sign that the new droneship is ready for its trip to Florida.<\/p>\n

First, we will most likely see the droneship conduct sea trials out in the Gulf of Mexico, rather than off the coast of Florida. It makes sense to conduct these tests near a place they can make any needed changes rather than a less friendly commercial port like in Florida. We could see the start of these trials in the coming days.<\/p>\n
