The booster's landing fins and legs deployed as it was coming back down to Earth for its smooth landing on SpaceX's drone ship in the Pacific Ocean.

The whole point behind these kinds of landings is to help reduce the cost of launching to space. SpaceX hopes that one day they will be able to refurbish and reuse landed boosters to fly multiple missions instead of just flying one mission per rocket.
