Video explanation
Line art and a dynamic HUD connect launch, stage separation, booster return and tower capture with satellite and solar-array deployment. The author credits Codex Astra Ultra; HUD values belong to the demonstration model.
Two stages have different jobs
The booster supplies initial propulsion and returns after separation, while the upper stage continues the payload mission.
Capture requires precise control
Return flight requires speed, position and attitude control; tower capture is the final step in a process compressed by the animation.
Deployment is a separate phase
Satellite release and solar-array deployment follow launch; the illustrated actions do not imply identical timing for every real mission.
