All subject to delay, change, or course. Both vehicles have static fired, the FAA has given approval.
Boosters second flight, its going to be sacrificed to gain more knowledge. Its landing out in the Gulf.
1. Unlike previous hot stage separations, which allowed the booster to blow away from the first stage any old way, some of the outflow vents have been blocked to push the booster away in a specific direction.
2. It will reenter on a higher angle of attack, meaning its subjected to high forces, but also that it will shed more energy, requiring less fuel to come back in for a landing.
3. They are going to shut down one of the inner three motors to make the rocket ignite one in the middle ring to make up for that loss.
4. It will then "land" using only two motors.
5. Since it will be simulating a catch on the tower, it will stop a bit high, then crash into the Gulf of America....
