Dragon CRS-5

 2015-001A


CRS-5 was launched in Jan 2015 following some delays, the first US cargo flight since the Antares Orb-3 failure. This was the first attempt to fly back the Falcon 9 first stage to the ASDS ship, which was stationed about 360 km E of the Cape; the booster successfully performed three braking burns and steered towards a near-pinpoint landing but ran out of hydraulic fluid for the grid steering fins just before touchdown and was destroyed, causing minor damage to the ship.

9688 kg at insertion. 2317 kg of cargo 8791 kg at undocking.
