ASDS stands for Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship.
It is a type of seagoing platform that SpaceX uses to land their Falcon 9 rockets after they have launched payloads into space. The drone ship is equipped with engines and thrusters that allow it to maintain position and stability in the open ocean. This enables SpaceX to recover and reuse their rockets, ultimately reducing the cost of space travel.
