SpaceX\u2019s third custom-made Falcon 9 recovery robot called Octograbber was seen leaving a SpaceX facility in Cocoa, Florida.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been tracking the construction of SpaceX\u2019s third droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, for a few weeks now. While construction on the ship has been moving relatively quickly, the Octograbber is the first piece we\u2019ve seen that looks to be finished. <\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Octograbbers are remotely controlled robots that secure Falcon 9 boosters to the deck of the droneships. This keeps the Falcon 9 safely in place while also saving time over the old, manual securement method. Seeing this octograbber under construction was the first thing to tip us off that A Shortfall of Gravitas(ASOG) construction was underway somewhere. <\/p>\n
