Spaceflight Stages
1. Liftoff
The rocket launches from the launchpad.
2. Max-Q
The moment where the rocket experiences maximum dynamic pressure.
3. MECO
The moment when the booster of the rocket cuts-off and separates.
4. Booster Re-entry
The booster re-enters Earth's atmosphere.
5. Booster Catch
The Booster slows down and is caught by the launch pad.
6. SECO
The upper stage engine cuts off and the rocket is now in Earth Orbit
7. Second Rocket Launch
The second rocket launches from the launch pad and performs all the prior stages.
8. Refueling
The two upper stages dock in orbit and the fuel from the second launched one goes to the first one.
9. Atmospheric Braking
After entering the atmosphere of Mars, the rocket turns to aerodynamically brake.
10. Propulsive Braking
The rocket turns on its engines to slow down.
11. Landing
The rocket lands on the surface of Mars.
