SpaceX is making final preparations for the fourth launch of its FalconHeavy vehicle, the most powerful rocket in use today.
With NASA’s Space Launch System rocket yet to fly, and SpaceX still prepping the maiden flight of its next-generation Super Heavy space vehicle, the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket remains the most powerful rocket in use today.SpaceX is currently targeting Monday, October 31, for the launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission will deploy two classified satellites for the U.S. Space Force.
At liftoff, its 27 Merlin engines combine to create more than 5 million pounds of thrust, which SpaceX says is equal to around 18 Boeing 747 aircraft. The second Falcon Heavy mission took place in April 2019 and deployed a rather more sensible payload — the Arabsat-6A communications satellite built by Lockheed Martin. The mission’s most notable moment was the successful landing of all three boosters, marking the first-ever successful triple landing for SpaceX.
