SpaceX to reveal their manned DragonV2 capsule tonight

[magnemoe]

The V1 landed with parachutes + splashdown. The V2 lands in the same way in launch abort mode.

The parachute lines rip open the skin of the capsule, so if they deploy the parachutes for launch abort or landing abort, then the capsule goes straight into refurbishment (depending on how well it survived the hard landing or splashdown).

The rip is for a wire grove who is covered during launch, they connect to the parachute is stored in the bottom.

They need to replace the covers, high probably the parachute too is its hard to recover so you can trust it and give it a new paint job.

Main problem is if salt water enter the service compartment.
