Launch successful. I did not know there was fog in California.

It looks like the landing at sea has failed, but it was expected.

A report said that one of the landing legs failed to lock in the extended position. It's going to be a long time before anyone tries a manned vertical landing on earth.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

Jason 3 entered an orbit 25 km below Jason 2, which is at 1336 km. It is 2 minutes behind it and the two satellites will fly in formation.All looks good from a science point of view.

Stage 1 is not a crew carrier. That might be the task of stage 3.
