Old Man Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 It would have been fun with some proper pictures of the touchdown. According to Elon no one got proper pictures of the touchdown, occurring as it did in pitch darkness and thick fog. The cause of the hard landing has been traced to a lack of hydraulic fluid for the fins. The booster runs an open hydraulic system as a pump would be too heavy; consequently it uses up fluid as it maneuvers. Musk says their hydraulic reservoir was about 10% too small. I'm not sure how much that translates to in liters. In any event we can expect this problem to be solved the next time around. Weather would likely be better too.
