New members to the fleet are being added, and some being moved around. Here is an update on what has happened recently.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-14909\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a busy time for the SpaceX Fleet as things are shuffling around. From Of Course I Still Love You switching coasts to the latest contracted Fairing Recovery vessel, Hos Briarwood. We will also soon see a new addition to the booster recovery fleet, the long-awaited droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-droneships\">Droneships<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-of-course-i-still-love-you-west-coast\">Of Course I Still Love You (West Coast)<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OCISLY is currently in transit to the Port of Long Beach to support launch operations out of Vandenberg Space Force Base. After its final mission, CRS-22, work began immediately upon the booster\u2019s arrival at Port Canaveral to prepare for the voyage to the west coast. Most of the ballast water was drained to reduce the draft, and bumpers were welded to the sides. These bumpers help protect tugs when they are pushing the droneship around. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OCISLY would end up having a unique journey to the west coast though. When Just Read The Instructions was brought to the east coast, they took off the wing extensions to fit through the Panama Canal. OCISLY was first towed to the Bahamas to meet up with Mighty Servant 1, a Heavy Lift Vessel. This ship can partially sink itself to allow vessels to float over the deck to be carried. This is exactly what they did with OCISLY.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-14909',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 250px; height: 575px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=baserunner0723&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1403695510716825602&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2021%2F06%2F25%2Fthe-status-of-the-spacex-recovery-fleet-june-25th-2021%2F&amp;sessionId=abe4ab0aaba58da9ee2c92811d275711f51bd777&amp;siteScreenName=space_explored&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=500px\" data-tweet-id=\"1403695510716825602\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once OCISLY was secured to Mighty Servant 1, their voyage to the west coast officially began.

Octograbber Robot has been occurring under a tent at Port Canaveral. Built at SpaceX\u2019s Cocoa facility, this Octograbber is expected to look and function similarly to the existing ones. In case you are not aware, an Octograbber is a robot SpaceX built to secure Falcon boosters on the droneships after landings. The seas can be rough, and the swells have caused boosters to fall over before. The process used to involve welding the booster legs to the deck of the droneship, Octograbber makes this process faster and safer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dragon-recovery\">Dragon Recovery<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both GO Searcher and GO Navigator have seen some downtime between Dragon recoveries. GO Searcher was used to recovery fairings for a couple of launches in between contracted vessels. The next use of these ships will be the return of CRS-22 in mid to late July.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fairing-recovery\">Fairing Recovery<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-ms-tree-and-go-ms-chief\">GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fairing catching twins are no longer with the SpaceX Recovery Fleet and have been renamed back to what they were before joining the SpaceX fleet. GO Ms. Chief and Ms. Tree leaving signaled the end of catching falling fairings. SpaceX has decided that the soft water touchdown fairings could be reused just as well as the caught fairings, with less risk to the crews.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-current-contractor-hos-briarwood\">Current Contractor \u2013 Hos Briarwood<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Shelia Bordelon came Hos Briarwood.
