Port Canaveral
The port that receives recovered boosters and fairings and supports launch operations as a working part of the chain rather than a neighbor to it [PORTCAN][SPOK][WPORT]. The port carries documented booster and fairing recovery operations for two providers at this release; the space cargo tonnage the port reports is not yet traced to a primary record and no cargo figure is published here [PORTHOME].
