Falcon 9 Reusable Completes Test Flight to 1000 Meters [Watch], SpaceRef Business
“SpaceX has release a second video of a Falcon 9 Reusable test flight, this time reaching 1000 meters before softly landing in the same spot.
… Early flights of F9R will take off with legs fixed in the down position. However, we will soon be transitioning to liftoff with legs stowed against the side of the rocket and then extending them just before landing.”
