Scotius Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think it's the latter. Bulgariasat isn't so heavy to be a big strain on Falcon 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper_f Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Successful stage separation and second engine start. Let's hope this ends in a true triumphant landing rather than a big ball of fire splashing down. *Edit* LANDED! Such heroes. Congratulations to SpaceX once again!

tater Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Wow, at signal los it looked very sketchy. Lots of horizontal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, when the signal was lost, the splash from the water was off to the side of the drone ship, and then they lost signal... I was nervous for a moment.

KSK Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thought they'd ploughed that one! That spray from the side of the drone ship and then the camera feed cutting out. Not quite dead centre but they still made it - and more importantly a good orbit for the second stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignath Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I wish that footage hadn't cut out from OCISLY...I bet that landing was HAIRY. When the footage froze it look like the engine was kicking up waves off the side of the barge, then there were scorch marks all the way across to the other side, then S1 was sitting off-center. Crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMagic Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It looks like it came in with a lot of horizontal velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylon Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) That landing burn looked sketchy (the splash to the left of the droneship and the inaccurate landing suggests that they had to make a last minute correction) did I hear something about a 3 engine landing burn?

CatastrophicFailure Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 That recorded footage from the barge is gonna be epic, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
