Following its successful splashdown, SpaceX initiated operations to retrieve the upper stage of Starship’s Flight 13. The primary objective involves transporting the Starship upper stage back to Texas via a dedicated vessel. This transfer occurred within the Indian Ocean, marking a significant step in the recovery process. Approximately one month elapsed since the initial descent and landing of the spacecraft. SpaceX continues preparations for the return journey of this crucial component, signifying ongoing progress with the ambitious Starship program.
