Question

A spacecraft of the Trade Federation flies past the planet Coruscant at a speed of $0.600 c$. A scientist on Coruscant measures the length of the moving spacecraft to be $74.0 \mathrm{~m}$. The spacecraft later lands on Coruscant, and the same scientist measures the length of the now stationary spacecraft. What value does she get?
