Reusable Falcon Video 9 ( F9R ) took the first flight experience in missile development facilities we have. F9R
out of the implementation of a mountain at an altitude of about 250
meters, and then pass back to the pier right next to the position at
all. Flights leave early F9R off with fixed legs in the down position . However, soon we will move to take off with Mahfouz legs against the side of the rocket and then stretch before landing.
F9R
Program testing is the next step towards reuse after completion of the
program last year , Grasshopper (Grasshopper can be seen in the

in the future, including in New Mexico , and was carried out using the
first phase of the F9R as shown here, which is essentially the first
stage Falcon 9 V1.1 legs . F9R
test flights in New Mexico will allow us to test in the highlands of
what is allowed in our test site in the state of Texas, to do more with
orientation without engine and landing test cases that is more like
flying .
