Go Searcher has departed yesterday in order to catch fairing.

Also, one half of fairing is reused from ANASIS-II launch. Maybe it should be useful to add a fairing endpoint like the rocket one, in order to better track which has flown more times and in which launch. SpaceXfleet.com could be an useful website to take data from.

There's an error in static_fire_date_utc: timezone is Zulu while for that time (18:00) should be EST. In UTC is 2020-12-07 23:00:00 Z.

1. static fire issue is fixed

2. Agree that fairing tracking should exist, we'll have to come up with our own tracking and serial numbers, haven't seen anyone tracking that yet. Go ahead and create a new issue for this one specifically.

3. I'll look into using SpaceXfleet.com, as the ship data isn't automated at all. Reliably parsing it will be the biggest issue, especially if the format changes often.

How do you manage fairing_reused field if only one half is reused?

[MattoDeg]

SXM-7 has a launch window from 2020-12-11 16:21:00Z to 2020-12-11 17:20:00Z, so 1 hour and 59 minutes or 7140 seconds.

Launch scrubbed, waiting a new T-0.

[jakewmeyer]

The current fairing implementation didn't account for the possibility of individual halves being reused/caught/recovered, so the new implementation will cover this.
