Reliably catching and reusing the parts could save millions of dollars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Part of the SpaceX mission has been to create reusable rockets<\/a> that make spaceflight cheaper, and it has become routine to see the company’s booster rockets return safely to Earth. With today’s launch SpaceX set a new milestone by catching both halves of the nosecone fairing, according to a tweet<\/a> from CEO Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

He’s previously said the parts are worth about $6 million, and while the company has reused some after they landed in the sea or a ship caught one half, it’s potentially cheaper to get them back undamaged if both fall into a net.<\/p>\n

We don’t have video of the fairing recovery itself yet (the picture above is from a test), but you can see the successful catch of one half after a launch last year, as well as video of the Falcon 9’s first stage making its safe landing on a drone ship.<\/p>\n
