Sunday’s JASON-3 launch marked the third time SpaceX attempted droneship landings of the Falcon 9′s first stage booster. In the video above from /r/SpaceX user APTX 4869, these three landing attempts can be compared side-by-side. What is interesting to compare between the CRS-6 and JASON-3 landings is the smoothness the vehicle comes in to land in the most recent attempt. SpaceX said that sluggish engine gimbal response times for the CRS-6 attempt caused that stage to impact slightly harder than expected. When comparing the footage, that anomaly becomes visible. JASON-3 technically was a successful landing, but one of its four legs did not lock into place due to prelaunch ice buildup, and the rocket fell over.
SpaceX’s CRS-6 Dragon capsule shortly after being secured on the recovery ship Thursday. The capsule spent more than 38 days in space, delivering over 4,300 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station and returning 3,100 pounds of experiments, equipment, and materials.
Dragon splashed down at 12:42 pm EDT 155 miles off the coast of Long Beach California Thursday afternoon.
CRS-6 ends 38-day mission, splashes down.
SpaceX’s CRS-6 mission to the International Space Station came to an end today, with the Dragon capsule splashing down in the Pacific ocean at 12:42 pm EDT. Launching on April 14 from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral, CRS-6 brought more than 4,387 pounds of supplies to the orbiting laboratory. Spending more than a month berthed to the earth-facing port of the Harmony module, Dragon will be returning over 3,100 pounds of experiments, samples, and other materials. Click here for an in-depth look at the returning cargo of CRS-6. The Falcon 9 rocket that launched CRS-6 became one step closer to a successful landing on a recovery barge downrange April 14. Nine minutes after liftoff, the booster almost performed an upright landing on the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship, but excessive lateral velocity coupled with sluggish engine response times caused the vehicle to topple over before it could settle itself on the surface. SpaceX’s next cargo run, CRS-7, is scheduled for launch at 11:09 am EDT June 26. Seen above is the CRS-6 spacecraft shortly after unberthing. Expedition 43 Commander Terry Virts removed the capsule from the space station at 7:05 am EDT this morning. Check out our complete coverage on the CRS-6 mission by clicking here.
Why you should apply for #NASAsocial
1. Astronauts! Come prepared with your questions!
2. Media access means media tours of restricted sites.
3. Media accreditation means you get one of these babies! And they let you through the security gate.
4. News conferences! The place for official answers to all your space questions.
5. Non-stop Tweeting. (Photo thanks to Joshua Edmonds @GovernorEdmonds)
6. All the fun you can have taking photos in front of the countdown clock as you wait for blast off.
7. Getting THIS close to the rocket that’s about to blast off into space, and watching all media photographers set up their gear. I hope no cameras fell over before the launch…
8. Making it to the press site in time for blast off. Prepare to be in awe of the Dragon’s roar from only 2 miles away! (See what I did there?)
9. Getting pissed at a scrubbed launch…
“If weather was a person, I’d punch him in the face.” -@tenzovito on a scrubbed launch due to stupid weather #NASASocial
10. Coming back the next day to watch this…

CRS-6 Dragon arrives at Space Station.
After all the attention the it’s Falcon 9 landing is getting, the CRS-6 Dragon spacecraft that it launched on Tuesday was successfully captured and berthed to the International Space Station earlier today (Friday, 17 April, 2015). Following three days of orbital maneuvers to catch up with the orbiting outpost, the spacecraft was captured by the station’s Canadarm 2 at 6:55 AM EDT. Just over two and a half hours later, Dragon was berthed to the nadir, or Earth-facing port of the Harmony module at 9:29 AM EDT.
Over the course of the next 24 hours, Dragon’s hatch will be opened depending on crew members orbital scheduled. Ingress expected mid-Saturday. Photos via Terry Virts.
Cameras in Jacksonville spotted SpaceX’s Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship in port earlier this morning, having just returned from the Atlantic ocean yesterday. The barge exhibits significant debris on the surface, including what appears to be one of four landing legs and various components of the first stage. However, the barge suffered little damage, and most of the repairs are superficial once the debris is removed.
In a tweet sent out on April 15, the day after the landing attempt, CEO Elon Musk said, “Droneship is fine. No hull breach and repairs are minor. Impact overpressure is closer to a fast fire than an explosion.” The rocket approached the barge from the right hand side of the image. It landed near where the large pile of debris is, which is likely the remains of one of the landing legs. The video of the landing taken from the barge itself, leaked yesterday, was filmed from the camera tower in the corner of the barge in the middle-left of this image.
An aerial view of the attempt, seen here, was taken from almost the exact opposite side of the vehicle from the previous video.

A second video of Tuesday’s Falcon 9 landing attempt has been published online. This time, it is from one of the many cameras on the surface of the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship, or ASDS. In the HD video, the first stage of the Falcon 9 can be seen coming to a landing on the platform’s surface. The excessive lateral velocity that eventually toppled the vehicle is obvious.
Details of the rocket itself are obvious, such as the nitrogen control jets and grid fins at the top of the stage, the structure of landing legs, and engine compartment. As could be somewhat seen in the previous video, the amount of charring on the lower portion of the vehicle from atmospheric entry and engine blowback is obvious. Compared to the official video SpaceX released yesterday, the above camera on the barge was located on the opposite side of the vehicle. The video was originally posted here. A second camera on the ASDS provided our first images of the landing minutes after it occurred, though SpaceX only released still frames.
