Anybody know anything about the tech they're using to guide the stage to the barge? Since the flight is so short, I suppose they could get a GPS position on the barge at liftoff and pre-program that as the initial target, but I'd think they need some kind of terminal guidance actually tracking the barge to hit it reliably. Maybe visual or radar, or a radio beacon or something?
