CRS-3 1st stage ocean "landing" video

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Reconstruction work on this first-stage "ocean landing" video is ongoing -- videos are now being automatically built with the latest fixes, and uploaded to this (not-SpaceX-official) "SpaceXLandingRestore" YouTube account.

Latest video as of this morning -- lots more detail on landing leg deployment, as well as the moment the bottom of the stage hits water and makes some steam:

Looks like nearly all of the video has now been recovered/repaired -- and someone has managed to "recover the audio" as well ;-)

And here's the NSF "how it was done" article, if you're into details on MPEG4 encoding or volunteer crowd-sourcing -- there's also a neat animated GIF in the article that shows step-by-step playback of recovering/restoring a single full video frame:

Amazing. Both on the video recovery and the landing.
