GTA 5 Spaceship Parts are glowing collectibles linked to Franklin’s Strangers and Freaks mission “Far Out,” which unlocks once you complete the main story mission Fame or Shame. Omega, the eccentric conspiracy theorist in Sandy Shores, tasks Franklin with finding all 50 scattered Spaceship Parts across Los Santos and Blaine County. These fragments can be found hidden in rooftops, tunnels, mountain ranges, underwater spots, and other challenging locations, a few only accessible with a helicopter or good exploration skills.
Every part emits a faint humming sound, so it becomes easy to find it when nearby. Collecting all the items unlocks the follow-up mission, The Final Frontier, and rewards you with the unique Space Docker buggy vehicle and unlocks the “From Beyond the Stars” Achievement or Trophy. This guide tells all Spaceship Part locations in GTA 5 to help complete Omega’s quest and claim one of the game’s memorable collectibles.
Tip: Use Trevor for helicopter-heavy sections, his amazing flying skill makes picking the tricky parts much easy.
GTA 5 Spaceship Parts Map
The map below has marked locations for every Spaceship Part, which makes it easy to visit these spots and get the item. Though you can read our explanation further down, where we explain how to reach each area and get the item. Note that there will be a difference between the map and the list order.

What to Do After Finding All GTA 5 Spaceship Parts?
Once you’ve collected every single part, go back to Omega’s trailer in Sandy Shores, as you will instantly receive his message as soon as the 50th part is obtained. Walk up to him standing in the open, and a cutscene will play where Omega finally assembles his mysterious project. When the scene ends, you’ll see what all that scavenger hunting was for — Omega shows off a special vehicle (or spaceship), the Space Docker. It looks like a dune buggy covered in alien tech, glowing lights, and strange add-ons.
From here on, the Space Docker will be yours to drive and will be in your garage like other cars. Although it doesn’t have special powers beyond its unique design and neon thrusters, it’s one of the rarest vehicles in Grand Theft Auto 5, and you also unlock the “From Beyond the Stars” achievement.
