SpaceX\u2019s third droneship has been under construction for the last couple of months now and it is looking very close to being finished. This week, signs of deck work are showing up, which could be a final step before being shipped out.<\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s A Shortfall of Gravitas is their third droneship being built to take the place of Of Course I Still Love You in Florida. Between SpaceX\u2019s increase in government, commercial, and internal launches, the need for two droneships on the east coast and one on the west coast has lead them to acquire and upgrade Marmac 302.<\/p>\n

Marmac 302 is a barge of similar design and shape as the barges that SpaceX\u2019s other droneships are built on. The heavily modified droneship sports a new design compared to what we\u2019ve seen before with a large structure on the rear that seems to have replaced the many shipping containers we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

    The surrounding structures on the barge looks finished and communication equipment has been installed on top of one of the buildings. While not much has changed as of the last check-in, the addition of tarps around the main deck area seems to show that work has been focused there.<\/p>\n
