领航者号 Recovery Ship
领航者号 is the sea recovery platform discussed in 如何「兜住」一颗火箭？｜ S10E21. The episode describes it as a large recovery ship carrying a roughly 54 m by 54 m tension-net frame for catching the returning Long March 10B / 长征十号乙 first stage.
The ship matters because Sea-Net Rocket Recovery makes the recovery platform part of the rocket system. The source says the ship must handle sea-state motion, maintain position with a DP2 dynamic positioning system, communicate with the rocket at millisecond scale, and let the flexible net absorb the vehicle’s residual energy without imposing a destructive rigid shock.
