In a sequence of tweets, Musk mentioned that the “Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.”

“Ship itself is fine. Some of the support equipment on the deck will need to be replaced…,” Musk added.

The drone spaceport ship is principally a elaborate title for a modified unmanned barge, which was developed with and constructed by LAD Services, LLC, a fabrication and restore firm that has 3 shipyard amenities in Louisiana.

While among the media are describing the mission as failed, that truly couldn’t be farther from the case. After all of the rocket hit its goal, which is not any simple activity contemplating it had simply travelled from area and the goal was a tiny 300 by 100 foot platform some 200 miles off Florida within the Atlantic Ocean. The barge itself may also dwell to see one other day, a minimum of with some repairs. All in all, that’s fairly good contemplating this was the primary attempt.

Not to fret, although, subsequent month’s flight is already being deliberate with 50% extra hydraulic fluid so there needs to be loads of margin for the touchdown try.

If all goes as deliberate, the Falcon 9 rocket we be able to touchdown vertically on the platform after which reused in future flights.

Saturday’s mission lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 4:47 a.m. EST on Saturday, with touchdown on the barge focused much less for than 10 minutes later.
