This is about the OFT.
To survive reentry, ̶i̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶p̶s̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶w̶a̶r̶d̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶t̶t̶e̶m̶p̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶i̶g̶n̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶e̶n̶g̶i̶n̶e̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶/̶s̶p̶l̶a̶s̶h̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶b̶u̶r̶n̶.̶ The landing burn doesn't have to be successful, the intention is only to judge if it's still in flightworthy condition after reentry.
Edit: It seems like it might not attempt a landing burn. In that case, I'll try to judge as well as possible if it survives reentry. Judgement condition will probably end up being "does it stay in the right bellyflop orientation" and "does it look good", plus any statements made afterwards.

Unless someone has a better idea of how to judge reentry success?
