SHANNON, formerly called GO NAVIGATOR, is an offshore supply ship owned and operated by Guice Offshore, and currently deployed as one of the SpaceX Dragon/Dragon 2 recovery vessels[2] along with MAGAN Both the vessels are identical and equipped with a medical treatment facility, helipad, lifting frame, etc.
The vessel played a key role in the recovery operation of SpaceX's first crewed mission - Crew Dragon Demo-2.
History
GO NAVIGATOR's services were procured by SpaceX as a quick transport vessel, as a back-up to GO SEARCHER in the event of any technical failures.]
In 2018 and 2019, the vessel and its crew were deployed for several hours of training to prepare for the recovery of the Dragon 2 capsules and their astronauts. The vessel executed the recovery operations during the Crew Dragon In-Flight Abort Test. Between April and May 2019, GO NAVIGATOR was temporarily re-assigned to fairing recovery operations for the ArabSat-6A, Starlink 0.9, STP-2, and Amos-17 missions.
GO stands for Guice Offshore, the owner and operator of these type of vessels.
In early 2022, the vessel was renamed SHANNON after SpaceX Crew-1 astronaut SHANNON Walker, along with GO SEARCHER being renamed MEGAN after SpaceX Crew-2 astronaut Megan McArthur. They are registered to Falcon Landing LLC, a SpaceX-linked company that also owns recovery ships Bob and Doug and Elon's private jet.]
