The merlin engine can be accurately throttled over a wide range, and spacex has enough experience with them that they can accurately predict how much thrust the engine will give at different throttle settings. Spacex seeks approval for two additional landing pads on space coast.

Spacex is one of the only rocket companies that actually lands their boosters back on earth. Our landing today involves some of the highest heating and structural loads on the first stage that we have seen to date, and it. As we approached the landing pad, we successfully lit the three raptor engines to perform that flip maneuver and then we shut down two of them and landed on the single engine as planned, insprucker said. Goals are to test 3 engine ascent, body flaps, transition from main to header tanks & landing flip, musk said.
