Here are stages in launch and landing (source: GraphicNews). The most interesting thing is upon landing the rocket is welded to the floor to ensure it does not lose it balance. This simple trick increases odds off successful landing tremendously. How the System Works When the reusable rocket touches down, a bonding device within the foot pad can activate an energetic material. The activation causes a stud or metal layer to deform and fuse with the landing surface, creating a temporary weld. This enhances the rocket's stability during recovery operations, making it less likely to tip over due to wind or waves
