After that, fairing is simply extra weight for craft and is dropped. While rocket fairings are usually never recovered, y are expensive components.

As per reports, rocket fairing for Falco Heavy Rocket costs a whopping $6 million. In  video uploaded by Elon Musk, X retrieved rocket fairing in one piece after it was dropped from Starlink-10 after a successful launch.
