[i]After the catch, the helicopter pilot noticed different load characteristics than we've experienced in testing, which of course, you do expect whenever testing in the field for the first time. At his discretion, the pilot offloaded the stage for a successful splashdown, where it has been recovered by our vessel for transport back to our factory.[/i]
[i]Incredible catch by the recovery team, can't begin to explain how hard that catch was and that the pilots got it. They did release it after hook up as they were not happy with the way it was flying, but no big deal, the rocket splashed down safely and the ship is loading it now.[/i]
