Both satellites deployed on target. Now firing their ion thrusters to reach geo station over Europe & Asia.

Next landing attempt will be 3rd launch from now. Tonight's flight and following one will not have enough propellant.

Rocket soft landed in the ocean within 10m of target & nicely vertical! High probability of good droneship landing in non-stormy weather.

Primary mission on target. Spacecraft head towards the sun! All good there.

Planning a significant upgrade of the droneship for future missions to handle literally anything. Maybe give it a Merlin for good measure :)

Can't delay any longer. Must proceed with primary mission to launch the Deep Space Climate Observatory spacecraft.

Mega storm preventing droneship from remaining on station, so rocket will try to land on water. Survival probability <1%.

Launch postponed to tomorrow due to high winds at the Cape, but Dragon still inbound from orbit in 90 mins

Extreme wind shear over Cape Canaveral. Feels like a sledgehammer when supersonic in the vertical. Hoping it changes

Prob good though. Will give us time to replace 1st stage video transmitter (not needed for launch, but nice to have).

Rocket reentry will be much tougher this time around due to deep space mission. Almost 2X force and 4X heat. Plenty of hydraulic fluid tho.
