Floating F9 first stage (links)
Hello All,
“A funny thing happened after the GovSat 1 launch on Wednesday” (see:
http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/3...-status-center/
and
http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/3...alcon-9-rocket/
), and:
The Falcon 9’s first stage, which did not land on the drone ship but tested a very high thrust three-engine landing burn, survived its water landing, and Elon Musk has tweeted that they will try to tow it back to port. Here (see:
http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/3...tellite-launch/
and
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/space...-010302734.html
) are articles with photographs of the floating first stage, which is riding high in the water.
