" The December ORBCOMM launch that saw SpaceX pull off a landing on solid ground of its first stage was also the debut of a new model of the Falcon 9. But for a launch on January 17, the company is going back for the\u00A0barge landing, hoping it can pull off what&amp;#039;s, to this point, alluded SpaceX.\u00A0 The January 17 launch involves NASA&amp;#039;s JASON-3 satellite. Rather than launching from Cape Canaveral, the launch will take place at Vandenberg Air Force Base. And rather than using the newly updated Falcon 9, it will use the v1.1, designed for sea (not ground) landings. This is one of the last in the v1.1 fleet, according to Loren Grush at The Verge.\u00A0 While the company has a successful solid ground landing under its belt, it will now have to make good use of its barge and get the Falcon 9 v1.1 back standing up. If it can&amp;#039;t, this may not just be the end of the line for the 1.1, but for the barge in its current incarnation now.\u00A0  Source:\u00A0The Verge "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
