GTA 5 Spaceship Parts: All 50 Locations and How to Find Them

There are 50 spaceship parts hidden across Los Santos and Blaine County in GTA 5, and finding every one unlocks the Space Docker rocket car plus the "From Beyond the Stars" trophy. Here is where to look, how to start the hunt, and what the collectible has to do with the Mount Chiliad mystery.

The essentials:

• 50 spaceship parts are scattered across the entire GTA 5 map, on rooftops, underwater, inside buildings and buried in the desert.
• You unlock the hunt through Omega, a hippie NPC found in the Grand Senora Desert, once Franklin has completed the "Fame or Shame" story mission.
• Parts glow and emit a low resonating hum when you get close, which is the best way to confirm you are near one.
• Collecting all 50 and returning to Omega triggers "The Final Frontier" and rewards the Space Docker, a flying rocket car, plus the "From Beyond the Stars" achievement/trophy.
• The collectible is one of several threads GTA fans link to the long-running Mount Chiliad UFO mystery.

How do you start the spaceship parts hunt?

Play through the story as Franklin until you clear "Fame or Shame." Shortly after, a question mark appears on the map in the Grand Senora Desert, near Sandy Shores. Walk up to it and you will meet Omega, a conspiracy-obsessed hippie who believes aliens crashed a ship somewhere in San Andreas long ago. Talking to him starts "Far Out," the stranger and freak mission that unlocks the spaceship parts as a world collectible.

From that point on, every one of the 50 parts is live in the open world and can be picked up as any character, in any order. You do not need to finish "Far Out" itself before you start collecting; the parts simply need to be enabled first.

Where are the spaceship parts located?

The 50 pieces are spread across every region of the map, and several are deliberately awkward to reach. Rather than list bare coordinates, here is the breakdown by area so you know where to concentrate your search:

Region	Approx. parts	Notable spots
Paleto Bay and the far north	6-7	Fire Station third floor, Donkey Punch Farm barn, the Paleto Cove peninsula
Mount Chiliad, Mount Josiah and Cassidy Creek	5-6	Underneath the Raton Canyon Bridge support beams (parachute or land a chopper on the beams)
Grand Senora Desert and Sandy Shores	8-9	The abandoned amusement park, satellite dishes, rock formations near the Alamo Sea
Grapeseed, Catfish View and the rural east	4-5	Farmland and roadside spots between the northern towns
Vinewood, Rockford Hills and the urban core	8-9	Vinewood sign area, the observatory, Rockford Plaza rooftop
Downtown Los Santos, Rancho, Textile City, Elysian Island	8-9	Industrial rooftops, the LSIA perimeter, El Burro Heights
Vespucci Beach, Del Perro and the coastline	5-6	Vespucci Canals, underwater pieces near the pier
South Los Santos, Murrieta Heights and the reservoirs	4-5	Land Act Reservoir, the dam area

A handful of parts sit underwater or require a helicopter to reach cleanly, so keep a chopper or a parachute on hand while you sweep a region. If you get within roughly 25-30 meters of a part, the humming sound gets noticeably louder, which is the quickest way to zero in without alt-tabbing to a map every time.

What order should you collect them in?

There is no required order and no time limit, so the most efficient approach is to work region by region rather than jumping across the map chasing a single missing piece. Most players sweep the map in a loop: start in Blaine County (Paleto Bay down through Sandy Shores and the Grand Senora Desert), then work south through Vinewood and Rockford Hills, then finish in Los Santos proper and the coastline. Doing it this way also means you naturally pass other collectibles, like the letter scraps and submarine parts, along the same routes.

What do you get for finding all 50 spaceship parts?

Once you have picked up the last part, return to Omega's location in the desert to trigger "The Final Frontier." Completing it does two things:

• Unlocks the Space Docker, a small flying rocket car stored in Omega's garage that you can call in afterward like any other vehicle.
• Awards "From Beyond the Stars," the platform trophy or Xbox achievement tied to the collectible.

It is a self-contained reward loop: no money, no story progression, just the vehicle and the trophy. That makes it a pure completionist target rather than something you need for the story or for GTA Online.

Are spaceship parts connected to the Mount Chiliad mystery?

Loosely, yes, at least in fan theory. When Omega shows you the alien object at the end of "The Final Frontier," he references the long-standing rumor of a UFO connected to Mount Chiliad, one of the most picked-apart secrets in GTA 5. Players have spent years cross-referencing the mural on Mount Chiliad, the glyphs scattered around the map, and the conditions under which a UFO reportedly appears above the mountain during a storm at 3am with 100% completion. Rockstar has never confirmed a direct mechanical link between the spaceship parts and the UFO sighting, and the mystery remains officially unsolved, but the two are part of the same alien mythology Rockstar built into San Andreas.

Tips for finding the last few parts

• Use a marker or checklist while you play; with 50 collectibles spread across a huge map, it is easy to lose track of which region you have already cleared.
• Bring a helicopter for the Cassidy Creek area specifically. The part tucked under the Raton Canyon Bridge beams is one of the most commonly missed because it is not visible from the road.
• Check underwater along the coastline near Vespucci Beach and the harbor; a few parts sit on the seabed and are easy to swim past without noticing the glow.
• If you are close to 50 and stuck, revisit farmland and rooftops first. Those two location types account for a disproportionate number of the pieces people miss on a first pass.

How long does it take to find all 50?

Without any guide, plan on spending several hours across multiple sessions, since a handful of parts are genuinely hidden (inside sealed-looking structures, wedged under bridges, or resting on the seabed) rather than just off the beaten path. Players following a full checklist, part by part, usually clear all 50 in under two hours because most of the difficulty is knowing where to look, not reaching the spot once you know. If you already have most of the map memorized from other collectibles, expect the spaceship parts to go faster than your first pass at the letter scraps or the submarine pieces, since the glow and hum give you immediate feedback that a guide-free hunt does not.

This is a pure single-player collectible from the story mode map, separate from anything in GTA Online, and it has stayed fully intact through every re-release of GTA 5. If you are working through other San Andreas collectibles at the same time, the GTA 5 submarine parts locations and the GTA 5 letter scraps map cover the other two big scavenger hunts, and both fit into the same 100% completion checklist.
