SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 Jason-3 Barge Landing Attempt - Failure

Jason-3’s first stage hits the barge perfectly at good velocity, but a landing leg that failed to lock caused collapse after engine shutdown. Preliminary cause - ice buildup due to fog. High probability of success for the next attempt, with Falcon 9 Full Thrust carrying SES-9, which will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
