They looked planned. I think they tested the full array of required operations: shutdown, gimbal, throttling, re-ignition.

- wongarsu 6y agoEven in normal operation it might have been useful to throttle down the engines in order to ascend a bit slower (less drag). If you have multiple engines, shutting some of them down is a convinient way to throttle.
- seg_lol 6y agoIt was a wonderfully designed test. I'd love to hear a presentation on test design, the mission profile and what data they were looking at with each one. I assume SpaceX has the same video feed with superimposed telemetry. I'd love to know turbo pump pressure and rpm during landing.
