The Mechazilla catch mechanism is an innovative system designed by SpaceX to recover the Super Heavy booster, a massive rocket stage. Featuring giant mechanical arms nicknamed "chopsticks" attached to a launch tower, it catches the descending booster mid-air after launch. The booster maneuvers into position using its engines and grid fins, hovering as the arms close around specialized pins, securing it for rapid reuse without landing legs. #SpaceX #Starship #booster #Mechazilla #flight7 | Space
