Monitor for cleanup:

As of the date signed below, I noticed the untitled link at reference [1] appears to be dead (http://module.smartech.gatech.edu/bitstream/1853/6262/1/AIAA-2002-5854.pdf). DKEdwards (talk) 05:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reuse

Is spacex the only company trying to reuse fairings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.78.219.83 (talk) 16:13, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article says SpaceX has successfully retrieved a fairing, with the source being a vague post on The Verge which actually says: "That doesn’t mean that SpaceX has necessarily recovered the fairing pieces, though. They must have landed in the ocean". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.239.222.161 (talk) 15:07, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New section on fairing recovery

Given SpaceX has been attempting several fairing recoveries recently in an attempt to reduce cost, should a new section dedicated to fairing reuse be added? XYZtSpace (talk) 18:35, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How does air get out

Does anyone have a good reference for how the air that is in the fairing get out as the rocket leaves the atmosphere? Gpetrov (talk) 12:41, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
