The launch, currently scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, from Kennedy Space Center, was SpaceX’s first Falcon Heavy launch in three years. The launch was originally scheduled for Monday morning, October 31, but has been rescheduled, with the rocket raised upright on platform 39A on Wednesday evening and, following a static test launch, the world’s most powerful rocket will then be ejected from platform. It can contain two top secret satellites belonging to the US Space Force. Basically, the Falcon Heavy is made up of three Falcon 9 rockets tied together. And in the extraordinary spectacle of simultaneous landings, the two boosters will return to Earth. The third booster will put the satellite in a distant orbit. In all, 28 Merlin engines will be launched. This will be the first Falcon Heavy launch since 2019. “The main reason the Falcon Heavy has been basically out for three years is because the payload it is supposed to be piloted isn’t ready yet,” said Eric Berger of Ars Technica. This large payload comes from NASA and the Department of Defense. Berger has also written books on Elon Musk and SpaceX. “I think symbolically it’s a very important rocket for SpaceX,” he said. Because it shows, first of all, that private companies can build the largest and most powerful rockets. I mean, think about it. Previously, these projects were fully funded by the government. “The Falcon Heavy is the only missile capable of reaching all the orbits that the Department of Defense wants to reach.
The launch, currently scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, from Kennedy Space Center, was SpaceX’s first Falcon Heavy launch in three years.
The launch was originally scheduled for Monday morning, October 31, but has been rescheduled.
The missile was raised perpendicular to platform 39A on Wednesday night.
After a static test launch, the world’s most powerful rocket will then be ejected from the platform so it can load two US Space Force classified satellites.
