DocM Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 One for the spooks at the National Reconnaissance Office. Rumor is this is a pair of Naval Ocean Surveillance System (NOSS) INTRUDER signals intelligence (SIGINT) satellites. Usually with these the coverage ends shortly after upper stage separation for security reasons.

bguy_1986 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Great landing video once again. When this all started I kind of expected to see more landing on land vs the ships.
