Grasshopper 744m Test | Single Camera (Hexacopter)
SpaceX
SpaceX footage of the Grasshopper vehicle's 744 m test hop, filmed from a hexacopter that gets closer than earlier flights. Grasshopper was a vertical takeoff and landing rig built to test returning rockets to the pad.
Used as the go-to clip showing SpaceX's reusable-rocket landing tests, often in comparisons with other vertical landing programs.
