| Apr 1, 2017 at 9:00 | comment | added | uhoh | @jkavalik I mention "plural" as part of trying to decode this one line of text. I'm thinking that since there are two separate halves, "systems" implies a complete system for each half, and that suggests they are used post-deployment. Here is one place where we can see a fairing separate into two separate pieces: the linked video is already queued up to start playing just before separation | |
| Apr 1, 2017 at 8:42 | comment | added | jkavalik | The two halves are not connected so each one needs a separate system for sure. I did not clearly see the halves after separation on this launch, but I think we could see them in some previous cases when they were already testing the RCS system. CRS-9 (? iirc, will have to check) some ground cam did see the separate halves and something looking like thruster plumes. | |
