A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster landed at the same launch complex it took off from on February 13, in a first for the company.
Footage streamed live by NASA shows the first-stage booster touching down.
“This marks the first time SpaceX has launched and landed a booster from the same launch complex in Florida,” NASA said.
“On January 30, SpaceX announced Landing Zone 40 will serve as the primary landing site for Falcon 9 boosters performing return-to-launch site maneuvers going forward,” the agency explained.
