SpaceX.’s Falcon Heavy is set to blast off Thursday with a high-capacity telecommunications satellite payload
Space Exploration Technologies Corp.’s Falcon Heavy is set to blast off Thursday with a high-capacity telecommunications satellite payload.
Falcon Heavy’s first flight was a demo flight in February 2018 with its famous dummy payload: A Tesla Inc. TSLA, -2.70% bright-red Roadster and a spacesuit-clad dummy named “Starman,” after the David Bowie song, behind the wheel. This time, SpaceX will attempt three landings after booster separation, with Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters attempting to land not far from its launch area at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
SpaceX accomplished the first droneship landing, after several failed attempts, in April 2016 as the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket returned.
