The catch mechanism, dubbed "Mechazilla," features two massive mechanical arms on a 400-foot tower that precisely grab the booster by its grid fins, a feat likened to catching a skyscraper with chopsticks #SpaceX #superheavy #booster #starship | Space News

67K views · 1.1K reactions | On January 16, 2025, SpaceX's Mechazilla tower successfully caught the Super Heavy booster during its seventh Starship test flight. The booster executed a controlled descent, guided by grid fins, and was secured by Mechazilla's "chopstick" arms at Starbase, Texas. This marked the second successful catch, advancing rapid rocket reusability | 7K | Facebook

The Mechazilla catch mechanism is an innovative system designed by SpaceX to recover the Super Heavy booster, a massive rocket stage. Featuring giant mechanical arms nicknamed "chopsticks" attached to a launch tower, it catches the descending booster mid-air after launch. The booster maneuvers into position using its engines and grid fins, hovering as the arms close around specialized pins, securing it for rapid reuse without landing legs. #SpaceX #Starship #booster #Mechazilla #flight7 | Space

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point | SpaceX
