Draggendrop Veteran Posted May 10, 2016 Veteran Share Posted May 10, 2016 So far, from what I gather from NSF/reddit...the "pilots" will meet the ASDS at 22:00 EDT and will probably be in port a few hours later...will keep checking...presently waiting for departure of a Norwegian freighter at 21:00 EDT.

Draggendrop Veteran Posted May 14, 2016 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2016 ^ speculation is of certain areas with an ablative paint as well as lower panels with ablative peel-on material. They will still be testing for high heat mitigation for as long as they launch, and will get more knowledgeable with time. -------------------- BetaguyGZT 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1291928-falcon-9-jcsat-14-mission-thread/page/7/#findComment-597409084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 That peel on material is painted high density cork, natures own ablative carbon thermal protection system. Why re-invent the wheel?
