Falcon-9 uses radar altimeters for determining vertical "distance to go" during landing. While a sideways position error of even ten meters is not fatal, it is critical for the rocket to be quite close to zero altitude when deceleration brings the velocity to zero. (Any residual error must be dealt with by the shock absorbers, and their capability is modest.) |
