Nic Cruz Patane(@niccruzpatane):This morning, @SpaceX deployed their new spacecraft called Starfall for the first time. The disk-shaped reentry vehicle designed for returning payloads from low orbit (or suborbital flights) to Earth. • About 10 feet in diameter, 2.5 feet tall. • Aluminum and Carbon Fiber Construction • Up to 2,200 lb payload capacity • Parachute system for splashdown in the ocean • Compatible on Falcon 9 (and starship I think?) SpaceX can use Starfall for rapid, cost-effective return of high-value payloads from orbit, etc.
