Apparently they landed the SH booster within half a centimeter of the target position at the last attempt.
So I'd say they definitely have carried over some important lessons from Falcon 9.
The actual catching part might perhaps not have been very transferable, given how Falcon 9 can't roll using it's single engine unlike Starship booster, and the large difference in mass.
- mavhc 2y agohow do they even measure a half centimetre accuracy?
- magicalhippo 2y agoI assume they have access to the full GPS resolution. They had a ship in the vicinity AFAIK, so could use that to improve accuracy through data augmentation.
- cubefox 2y agoIt's more likely it was half a meter and he misspoke. Landing with half a centimeter accuracy seems highly improbable.
