Great job to all who sailed on M/V Megan and made the SpaceX human spaceflight program truly unique! We chartered Megan, then GO Searcher, in 2016 to learn how to recover payload fairings. After extensive modifications to support Dragon, we learned how to recover astronauts after human spaceflight missions with Megan – helping set the stage for the return of human spaceflight to the U.S. with Demo-2.
Megan recovered 24 astronauts, including the crews of the first fully commercial and first private astronaut missions to orbit. After the final East Coast Dragon recovery with Crew-9 in March, Megan sailed to Louisiana for retirement from the SpaceX fleet last week.
Fair winds and following seas Megan!!! Thank you for your service to Human Spaceflight!
P.S. Megan was named for astronaut Astro Megan, the second woman to fly on Dragon.
