About Megan
MV Megan, formerly known as MV GO Searcher, was one of SpaceX's two Dragon capsule recovery vessels; it was retired in 2025. Owned by SpaceX through Falcon Landing LLC (which also owns SpaceX's fairing recovery vessels and Elon Musk's private jet), this ship and its sister vessel, MV Shannon, were converted platform supply vessels equipped to retrieve Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon capsules after splashdown. When a Dragon capsule was preparing to return to Earth, Megan or Shannon were dispatched to wait near the predetermined landing zone. After splashdown, fast boats deployed from the vessel, approach the capsule to perform safety checks, check on the crew, and prepare it to be lifted aboard the recovery vessel, where the astronauts can exit the capsule. NASA required SpaceX to allow the astronauts to exit within 60 minutes of splashdown.
