Exuma Sound is a body of water in the Bahama Islands.[1][2] It lies southeast of New Providence Island and Eleuthera Island and west of Cat Island.[2]

The first ever landing of a rocket in a different country than it was launched from occurred on February 18th, 2025, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida landed on a drone ship in Exuma Sound as a part of the Starlink 10-12 mission.[3][4]
