Видео с первой ступени после разделения весьма интересное было.

[Boris Mekler]

СЕЛИ!

[che wi]

Есть посадка ступени.

[Salo]

Сели.

[Lesobaza]

Молодец Маск!!

[azeast]

Хорошо сидим!

[Прол]

Да, на этот раз Маск устроил феерическое зрелище!

[Pirat5]

ступень села!

[Дем]

Жаль, рокеткамы на ступени засрались...

[А.Фарафонов]

Это было круто. Спасибо SpaceX.

[Dmitry]

она слишком легко села как-то %) впечатление будто они 90+ процентах случаев садиться будут.

Не хватает видео со створок обтекателя.

Решетки горели у корня, как и предсказывает модель. Посмотрим как отработала ТЗП на ХО,

00:49
T+plus 9 minutes, 15 seconds. SECO 1. The Falcon 9's second stage engine has shut down after injecting the Thaicom 8 satellite into a preliminary parking orbit. The Merlin vacuum engine is due to restart at T+plus 27 minutes, 7 seconds, to put the Thaicom spacecraft into a supersynchronous transfer orbit.

00:48
Falcon has landed on the drone ship!

00:46
T+plus 8 minutes. The vehicle remains in a nominal trajectory. The terminal guidance phase of the launch will start soon in the final minute of the second stage burn.

00:46
T+plus 7 minutes. The kerosene-fueled Merlin 1D upper stage engine generates about 210,000 pounds of thrust in vacuum. Altitude is now 167 km.

00:46
The first stage has completed its re-entry burn to aim for a landing on a recovery ship positioned 420 miles east of Cape Canaveral.

00:43
T+plus 5 minutes. Everything reported to be going well with this second stage engine firing. The Merlin vacuum engine uses an ultra-thin niobium nozzle extension for greater efficiency in the upper atmosphere.

00:43
T+plus 4 minutes. The Falcon 9's payload fairing has been jettisoned. Acquisition of signal Bermuda.

00:42  Staging confirmed
T+plus 3 minutes. The Falcon 9 first stage engines have cut off, the stages have separated, and the rocket's second stage Merlin vacuum engine has ignited for its approximately six-minute firing to reach orbital velocity.
Cold gas nitrogen thrusters are now firing to re-orient the 156-foot-tall first stage booster in the correct attitude for its engine burns to target a landing on SpaceX's drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

00:41
T+plus 2 minutes. Now soaring at an altitude of more than 20 miles, the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage will shut down and jettison in about 40 seconds.
And chilldown of the second stage's vacuum-rated Merlin 1D engine has started in preparation for its ignition.

00:38

Всё таки при посадке ракета влияет на сигнал.

Забыл сказать, было видно, как пламя с двигателей подожгло краску на мухобойке. Это, кстати, камень в теорию Not'a )

Вы уверены, что это было пламя с двигателей?
