SpaceX Shifts Dragon Splashdowns from East to West Coast for Safer, More Efficient Recovery Process
Broke On: Friday, 26 July 2024SpaceX, in response to debris concerns, will move Dragon splashdowns from the East Coast to the West Coast starting in 2025. This decision follows at least five instances of debris reaching Earth's surface during crewed missions. To mitigate risks, SpaceX will implement a software change for Dragon to execute its deorbit burn before jettisoning the trunk. The shift in recovery operations aims to reduce debris impact on populated areas and improve scheduling predictability.
