With this, we can create a conceptual render of what we may see next flight, if the ship comes back intact. For that though, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. (Render credit: @thespaceengineer.bsky.social / Interstellar Gateway)

The berth itself was completely clear, with a temporary crane stationed on site. This crane is a Tutt Bryant 275T Crawler Crane, with, you guessed it, a lifting capacity of 275 tons. More than enough to lift a Starship vehicle from the water and on to a barge.

First, looking at the vessel, we can see this large floatation device, called a fender, on the stern section of Renegade. This would aid in floatation of a Starship vehicle while in tow.

Checking in on the Renegade, it returned to Onslow, Australia, on November 24th. It was not carrying anything. However, it provided multiple valuable insights into what we should expect should Starship return intact.

These are the cores for the buoys that observe Starship's landings. Each buoy is comprised of two of these cores, and there's four buoys. Each one gets one core with a prop and an antenna (right side) and another core with cameras and a computer (left side)

Almost all the debris we saw ended up being loaded on to these flatbed trucks. Hopefully, within a month or two, we see these crates turn up at Starbase.

There were also a lot of other objects unloaded that we could not identify. Some of them are featured below.

Additionally, there were these six containers. These are called steel IBC tanks, and can store a wide variety of liquids. We believe these were simply carrying extra fuel for the marine vessel.

Many of these tiles are in surprisingly good condition. Here is a person inspecting a chunk of tiles still held together with glue. This chunk is most likely from the nosecone tip or the forward static aerocover caps of Starship.

There's also the classic piece that we all know and love -- Tiles! Multiple bags containing hundreds of heat shield tiles, presumably sampled from various areas around the ship.

Among the largest debris brought back was four COPV tanks from the ship. There is potential that there was actually eight tanks unloaded, as each of these crates can contain four COPV tanks each, and one of the containers was already sealed by the time we arrived on scene.

Limitless arrived to port first, to Exmouth, Australia, on November 23rd. Here we can see unloading operations actively ongoing.

Offshore support vessel "LIMITLESS" and offshore tug "BHAGWAN RENEGADE" were present at the landing site of Starship during Flight 6. Following splashdown of the vehicle, Starship broke up into multiple sections. These two vessels followed the floating debris for over 27 hours.

Starship S31's debris have returned to Australia!
All sorts of items, ranging from tiles, COPV tanks, and other components from the Starship upper stage have been brought back to shore for further analysis 🧵

#SpaceX launched Booster 13 and Ship 31 for Starship Flight 6 earlier today.
We saw a successful ascent, staging and boostback.
The booster sadly aborted to make a soft landing off the coast.
The ship made it through reentry for a pinpoint landing in the Indian Ocean.
