The solid rocket boosters detach from the shuttle at about 45 km, but the boosters keep rising to about 67 km. They then fall back toward earth and once they enter the atmosphere, the rockets. parachutes are deployed. Each rocket is decelerated by three main parachutes. The boosters then slowly and safely fall into the ocean, and are retrieved by two NASA recovery ships. Experts refurbish the boosters, so they can be reused for the next launch.

A total of 12 elements, two SRB casings, six main parachutes, two frustums, and two drogue parachutes, are equipped with location "beacons" to track all the parts that need retrieved.
