If all goes well, the rocket should splash into the ocean traveling less than 10 meters per second. A reusable launch vehicle have parts that can be recovered and reflown, while carrying payloads from the surface to outer space. Can a SpaceX upper stage recovery be possible Back in April 2018 Elon Musk tweeted that SpaceX would attempt to bring rocket upper stage back from orbital v. (SpaceX is the only company to successfully recover a first stage.)Īs the Electron rocket descends lower into the atmosphere, a drogue parachute will deploy, followed by a main parachute.

His engineers developed a plan whereby the first stage would launch and separate from the Electron second stage, as normal, at an altitude of 80km and then use reaction control system thrusters to reorient the vehicle for reentry, with the engine section leading the way. "But really, we're just nowhere close to keeping up with the demand from our customers."
