How do they structurally, electrically, etc. checkout the rocket after landing?
- mewc 2y agoAn ops problem for later. At least now its possible!
- bmitc 2y agoIt seems like a pretty expensive assumption that landing the rocket is enough. Relaunching the rocket, which requires inspection and validation procedures and technology, is just as important as landing it.
- modeless 2y agoThey haven't done it yet and nobody outside of SpaceX knows their specific plans. Of course we can speculate that they will design sensors and cameras to replace any previously required manual inspections.
