Just Read the Instructions (I) SpaceX's first ASDS was named Just Read the Instructions (JRTI). Converted from the existing Marmac 300 barge, JRTI served as a testbed for just two landing attempts, SpaceX CRS-5 and SpaceX CRS-6, the latter of which ended with the booster toppling over and exploding, damaging JRTI beyond repair on 14 April 2015.

SpaceX routinely lands boosters of its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, either on a landing zone on the ground or on a drone ship. SpaceX landing zones are: SpaceX Landing Complex 1 (LC-1), USSF Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Space Coast, Florida, USA SpaceX Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) SpaceX Landing Zone 2 (LZ-2)
SpaceX workers got stuck on a barge with a spaceship full of toxic fuel in 2010, a new book reports. After the Dragon spaceship's first flight, a SpaceX crew retrieved it from the ocean.
The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets pending an investigation to determine what caused a first-stage booster to crash onto a landing barge early Wednesday ...
Early workers at Elon Musk’s aeronautics company SpaceX reportedly once got stuck overnight on an ocean barge with a toxic spacecraft. In 2010, eight years after its founding, engineers became ...
The first tests aimed to touch down vertically in the ocean at zero velocity. Later tests attempted to land the rocket precisely on an autonomous spaceport drone ship (a barge commissioned by SpaceX to provide a stable landing surface at sea) or at Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1), a concrete pad at Cape Canaveral. The first ground landing at LZ-1 ...
