After a year of solid success with Falcon 9 fairing recovery and reuse, SpaceX has once again started tinkering with the recovery operation.
SpaceX’s fairing recovery program has been in development for many years and has evolved into a largely underappreciated, but highly successful, operation. Fairings are now regularly flying on multiple missions in a consistent manner, and it’s rare for a fairing to be recovered in a damaged state or not at all. The current confirmed flight record is six reuses of a fairing half.
