magnemoe Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 5 hours ago, Wjolcz said: Well, maybe they could try touching it down on water. I wouldn't risk damaging the barge if I was them, but then the stage is always aimed at the water in case the hoverslam fails. You have to navigate it during decent and its known they can abort landing on pad and rater splash down. On an launch abort I guess stage would either disintegrate or at least be so damaged it could not land or its basically intact. Note that its an good chance it will face so much drag after separation you exceed the limits spacex has set, still just engine and avionic recovery is better than nothing.

kerbiloid Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Spoiler I guess in case of aborted flight, if not the accident kills the patient, then autopsy will finish him. Because they will probably study every piece to prevent the situation in future flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Soooo... we’ve got a launch coming up on the 22nd, supposedly. Anyone hear any rumblings of a static fire from the Cape yet? Getting mighty close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xd the great Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 How does spaceX manages to transport offshore booster home? Its not like the JRTI can come back on its own. Does the booster gets loaded into a new ship, or they just haul the whole JRTI back shore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotius Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 And after unloading it's loaded on a trailer and sent on its way by land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
