Case III recoveries may be conducted concurrently with Case I and II launches.

Concurrent recovery operations can be planned when there is enough resources and independence between activities, so Case III recoveries can run alongside Case I and II launches without forcing a strict sequence. In practice, recoveries are often a separate function that relies on its own teams, vessels, and timing. By pre-positioning assets, coordinating schedules, and maintaining clear command and control, the recovery phase for Case III can be ready and active even as launches for Case I and II proceed. This parallel approach helps shorten overall mission time and improves readiness for splashdown or landing events, while safety margins and contingency plans handle any disruptions. Weather can affect both sides, but it does not inherently require them to be sequential; planning typically builds in options to adjust without collapsing the entire timeline if conditions change.
