Track the SRB Recovery Ships!

A few days ago, I stumbled across this site that maps the locations of ships using the AIS system in real time.

Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions

In the "Go to Port..." pulldown on the left, select [US] CAPE CANAVERAL

The SRB recovery ships, Freedom Star and Liberty Star left port about 35 minutes ago!
They'll be taking up station about 140 miles out, I believe. The AIS system can only track out to 15-20 miles, so...

Thanks for that. It is great to see the activity that is going on around my own home port. :speakcool:

Yes, I agree. You know, there is something similar to this, only with airplanes. It's called flightaware. That's how I check all NASA flights.
