Launch or test range · United States

SpaceX

Recorded as: SPACEX

The launch company. Warnings under its name cover launch hazard areas and the recovery of boosters, fairings and capsules at sea.

Launch and test ranges announce the sea areas that may be dangerous during a rocket launch, a missile test or the recovery of spent stages: where parts may fall, and in which time windows. Their warnings are among the most precisely defined in the archive — polygons with start and end times that cancel themselves when the last window closes.
