That view of the first stage thrusters firing followed by the entry burn was epic. I'm anxiously waiting on a gif of that.

Less than 3 minutes after this, it was standing stationary on a boat.

Looks like at least one of the grid fins got pretty toasted.

What their current recovery rate for the year? I know they were shooting for 70%, seems pretty likely now.

Orbcomm OG2 - Landed at LZ-1 successfully. (success) Jason 3 - Landed on OCISLY, but leg didn't lock out. (failure) SES-9 - Landed hard on OCISLY. Made a big hole in the boat. (failure) CRS-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success) JCSAT-14 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success) Thaicom-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success) So they're at 67% right now, but the fact that they've landed three in a row, twice in the most difficult scenarios (GTO missions), bodes well. Now they just have to re-launch one... |
