Dart is an orthogonal c/3 spaceship that was found by David Bell in May 1992. It is currently the smallest known bilaterally symmetric c/3 spaceship, being slightly smaller than the turtle.
In December 2014, Martin Grant found a 72-glider synthesis of this spaceship based on components from Mark Niemiec and Ivan Fomichev, making it the first spaceship of this speed with a known synthesis.[1]
