Another critical marker that was achieved, which is closely related, is that the first stage&amp;#x27;s flight dynamics (i.e., pitch, roll and yaw) were correct. Previously, the first stage was destroyed because the flight dynamics were incorrect. Also, the first stage continued to report telemetry for 8 seconds after the water landing.&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know if the first stage&amp;#x27;s landing legs were successfully deployed before the water landing? These are the 4 carbon fiber and aluminum legs (each 25ft &amp;#x2F; 7.6m long) that would be used to land the stage. I know that Falcon 9 launched with them, but I don&amp;#x27;t know if they were deployed. My suspicion is that they would have attempted to deploy them as well, for verification and validation purposes.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Falcon 9 first stage found, but probably not recoverable</title><url>http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/space-flight-missions/commercial-space-space-flight-missions/spacex/crs-3/spacex-president-shotwell-talks-recovery-efforts-recent-ribbon-cutting-ceremony/</url></story>
