- ben_bai 8y agoThis almost always happens. It's really hard to keep a stable satellite connection, while a 150ft. booster is blasting the deck with the exhaust from 3 firing rocket engines.
- JshWright 8y agoIt doesn't fire all three engines down to the deck. The landing burn starts with one engine (in order to have more control authority when the two outboard engines start up), then two more engines get lit, then they shut down shortly before the actual landing (reducing the TWR makes the landing a bit easier).
