Less than 2 hours after launching the OTV-5 mission for the US Air Force September 7, the Deimos-2 satellite photographed Falcon 9′s boost stage at LZ-1. The rocket successfully lofted the X-37b mini space shuttle into orbit before returning to Cape Canaveral for landing. Although Deimos-2 has imaged multiple other Falcon 9 rockets in the past, this is the first time that it captured the vehicle after it landed. P/c: Deimos Imaging
