SpaceX is one of the most innovative rocket companies in the world. The company is committed to making space flight cheaper by reusing launch vehicles. The company's Falcon 9 rocket can be reused up to 85%, which greatly reduces the cost of space flight.

Falcon 9 rocket booster recovery ship
The first stage booster of Falcon 9 rocket returned from space shortly after launching the payload into orbit; It can land vertically on an unmanned barge at sea. SpaceX has launched 113 rockets, recovered 79 orbital stage rockets and reused 59. SpaceX is the only company in the world with this level of reusability.

Fairing recovery vessel "Ms. chief"
In addition to the first stage booster, SpaceX can also recover the fairing of Falcon 9 rocket, and the closed top nose cone wraps the payload like a flap. When the rocket enters orbit, the fairing opens and the half fairing falls to the earth.
Fairing recovery vessel "Ms. tree"
Each fairing of Falcon 9 rocket is equipped with small steering thrusters and parachutes. In the past few years, SpaceX has tried to land half of the fairing on Fairing recovery ships called "Ms. chief" and "Ms. tree". These ships are equipped with huge nets attached to four metal arms. Of the 50 attempts to "catch" the fairing, the ships succeeded nine times.

New fairing recovery vessel
Because the fairing recovery system (fairing recovery ship) did not work as planned, Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, decided to retire these recovery ships and planned to recover the fairing by salvage after parachute assisted landing.
"They will be recycled from water," Musk wrote on twitter in early April. Musk said that recycling fairing can save the company about $6 million per flight, and recycling booster and fairing can save the company more than $30 million.

Before that, please be sure to read the instructions
When separating the fairing, please adjust the engine efficiency to 20%!!! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences
I think you've guessed. Yes, I'm going to upload Falcon 9. This time, I ushered in a super big update and completed the optimization of details.

Since there is no paraglider, I can only use an aerospace parachute instead. Originally just put one, the result is extremely unbalanced.

    Cool. I like seeing more people make custom fairings. It’s funny how similar the size of yours and my falcon 9 fairing is, I guess we both did a good job at the dimensions.

    @ChaoticGravitonok You provided Falcon 9 with grid wings and landing legs. Now I also want to provide a reusable and recyclable Falcon 9 fairing.
