This framegrabbed video image shows the view from the ASRV-1 rocket
shortly before touch down. The recovery system was configured to allow the rocket to descend at a faster speed than usual, and this, coupled with the fact that there was little wind, meant that the rocket landed close to the launch site.
There was a fear that the rocket may incur some damage due to the faster than usual descent, but it was recovered completely unharmed. |
