This is the third successful landing, second successful sea landing. This one is significant because the payload was delivered to GTO, so the first stage was coming in a lot faster and with less fuel, which required them to do a three engine landing burn rather than a single engine burn. They also skipped the boostback burn that they usually do.

Here it is being towed back to port:

They are working on getting it off OCISLY and horizontal now, last time it took them 4 days.
