Great boost, straight and fast off the rail, arcing to the east after burnout. Lost it against the higher level clouds. Heard the drogue charge fire, and the LCO said he saw it separated but quickly lost sight. Heard the main charge fire and got eyes on it just before touchdown, straight out from the LCO table, a hundred yards or so beyond the away pads. Lakebed landing, no damage. Shock cord from the booster to the av bay severely twisted, although both chutes looked to be deployed clean.
