Phase I: Sea-based recovery station using decommissioned offshore platforms for reusable rocket booster landings

This Phase I project will design and test whether a sea-based recovery station can be built by modifying retired offshore oil platforms into landing pads for reusable heavy-lift rocket boosters. The work includes structural modification methods and analytical models to meet required impact loads for current and future heavy-lift stages. The goal is to enable scalable, cost-effective maritime r…

The objective of this Phase I effort is to design and demonstrate the feasibility of a Sea-Based Recovery Station (SBRS) prototype capable of repurposing decommissioned offshore oil platforms into resilient landing pads for reusable launch-vehicle boosters. The solution should include structural…
