SpaceX Grass-hopper RLV testbed (last flight for GH1, F9R next))

[Dr Mordrid]

MAJOR UPDATE:

SpaceX Facebook -

This was the last scheduled test for the Gr****opper rig; next up will be low altitude tests of the Falcon 9 Reusable (F9R) development vehicle in Texas followed by high altitude testing in New Mexico.

SO, the next flight will be a 3-engine Falcon 9 v1.1 core with landing legs at McGregor for low altitudes and SpacePort America for higher altitudes. This will be an even larger and MUCH more powerful vehicle.

Last look at GH1
