PORT CANAVERAL CONSIDERS CHARGING SPACEX 14 TIMES NORMAL FEE FOR
BOOSTER RETURN
A dispute may be brewing between SpaceX and the Canaveral Port
Authority, where the private space company brings its recovered boosters back to
land. Citing concerns over wear and tear on the port's facilities, the Authority
is considering raising SpaceX's fees by 14 times, to a total of $15,000 for each
booster passing through.
Port Canaveral is the facility that SpaceX relies on in its
operations. Spent boosters are recovered aboard their drone ship, which docks at
the Port. They are then offloaded from the drone ship with SpaceX's special
crane, loaded onto a truck and delivered to Kennedy Space Center.
