Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.

Hope a successful for this launch. LATMOS.
Wow I just ran outside this morning and watched a launch that carried more devices to have the world able to have internet communications. Love living on Florida.
I miss the information how often this particual rocket has flown already.
However, I like the fact that you add a weather forecast now.
There information about how many times the rocket has flown is under the rocket section of the page.
In the words of. Alan B Shepard the first Anerican in space;Fix your little problems sand light this candle.
This is what the satellites look like under the SpaceX Falcon fairings for this mission.
