Stage 1 transsonic.

Coming up on the three-engine landing burn.

Remember that it's normal for the drone ship cameras to cut out just before touchdown because the satellite link is all that SpaceX can afford.

All stages' AFTS have safed.

Stage 1 landing burn has started. This final burn will slow the first stage to zero-velocity as it approaches the drone ship.

Stage 2 SECO!

ZachS09 · « **Reply #250 on:** 06/23/2017 07:19 pm »

Not good. It looked like it was hovering over water.

SECO-1 is confirmed. Nominal parking orbit insertion.

ZachS09 · « **Reply #254 on:** 06/23/2017 07:19 pm »

Ladies and gentlemen, Falcon has landed yet again. Majestic views of the booster as it remains upright, hopefully to be reused for a third flight or retired once it returns to port.

Star One · « **Reply #255 on:** 06/23/2017 07:19 pm »

Rather off centre landing

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #256 on:** 06/23/2017 07:19 pm »

It's LEANING.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #257 on:** 06/23/2017 07:19 pm »

Good Stage 2 parking orbit achieved.

"Nominal orbit insertion"

SECO1.

Looks like it slid/jumped off quite a ways on the ASDS, this one.
