Morpheus lander test flight a success

Spacecraft completes test at Kennedy Space Center

Score another success for NASA's Morpheus lander.

Thursday's test flight from Kennedy Space Center appeared to have gone off without any problems.

This time, the goal was a 98-second flight, climbing about 803 feet and flying downrange 1,333 feet, with a pre-planned maneuver to change its trajectory.

"SUCCESS! Morpheus has landed," NASA tweeted.

The four-legged vehicle, a Johnson Space Center-led technology development project, has had a string of successful test flights.
