Electron lifts-off for #ThereAndBackAgain! Only mins later this booster came back to Earth under parachute & was caught by ouršas planned. The stage was then offloaded for an ocean splashdown & collection by our recovery vessel. A major step forward for our recovery program! pic.twitter.com/KNISJ0hFMz
