Amazing Fairing (Patreon)

SpaceX just released this stunning video from the recovered fairing during its controlled reentry. Looking back into the ionized air from the reentry, probably the fastest reentry of a fairing to date.

The colors are likely not truly representative, the purple color is typical of the engineering cameras used by SpaceX which don’t have near IR filtered out.

I’m sure there’s some editing going on given the duration, I would not be surprised if the parachute deployment system was covered by ITAR or simply a company secret.
