- rrmm 10y agoI haven't heard anything about it. They were also going to be testing the 'Roomba' robot contraption on the recovery ship. Best place I know of for news is probably the reddit r/SpaceX subredit.
- rrmm 10y agoThey apparently did recover the fairings successfully.

- JshWright 10y agoIt sounds like the test was successful. They weren't planning to catch them, but wanted to demonstrate soft landing in a targeted area (much like the early Falcon 9 landing tests).
