After launching astronauts to the International Space Station Wednesday the first stage booster of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully landed on the Just Read the Instructions (JRTI) drone ship.
JRTI is an autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) that acts as a modified barge, outfitted with a landing platform for boosters at sea that don’t have enough fuel for a return-to-launch-site landing.
