Summary

[edit]
Description
IMO info Information about the vessel may be found at IMO 9591648.
A ship can change name and flag state through time, but the IMO number remains the same through the hull's entire lifetime. As a result, it can be useful to identify a ship by using the IMO number.
English: SpaceX Dragon recovery vessel, MEGAN - IMO 9591648, in the West Basin of Port Canaveral, Florida USA on February 25, 2023.

Megan (previously named GO Searcher) is a SpaceX Dragon recovery vessel based at Port Canaveral, Florida. Alongside identical twin ship Shannon, both vessels are designed for Dragon capsule recovery operations.

  • Shannon is named after Shannon Walker, the first female NASA astronaut to fly on SpaceX’s Dragon capsule during the Crew-1 mission.
  • Megan is named after Megan McArthur, the second female NASA astronaut to fly on SpaceX’s Dragon capsule.

To support its spaceflight operations, SpaceX maintains a fleet of specialized ships:

  • Autonomous Spaceport Droneships - Of Course I Still Love You, A Shortfall of Gravitas and Just Read the Instructions
  • Dual-purpose support vessels – Bob, Doug and GO Beyond
  • Dragon capsule recovery vessels – Megan and Shannon
  • Chartered tugboats – Crosby Skipper and Kimberley C
  • Fast boats - Maverick and Goose
