The Falcon rocket is ready for its fourth mission which is dated to be launched on Monday. The Falcon Heavy Rocket will be launched from Kennedy Space Center located in Florida on October 31st, Monday deploying two satellites for the US Space Force. The Heavy Rocket has a core stage workhorse Falcon 9 rocket and two Falcon 9 boosters on either side of the core. The 27 Merlin engines come together to give out 5 million pounds of thrust equivalent to 18 Boeing 747 Aircraft according to SpaceX. Falcon Heavy took its maiden flight in 2018 which deployed an extraordinary test payload, Tesla Roadster. The side boosters could be reused as they stuck to the ground but the core boosters crashed when it reached the ground. Falcon Heavy Rocket to Be Launched on October 31st In April 2019, the second Falcon Heavy mission deployed a sound payload the Arabsat-6A satellite for communication built by Lockheed Martin. Three boosters were successfully landed which was the first successful landing for SpaceX. In June 2019, Falcon Heavy mission carried a payload for the Department Of Defense and other customers like in the previous one, two side boosters landed safely and the core one crashed. In the upcoming mission, two side boosters will touch down at Landing 1 and 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Station with no trial of core booster landing but will come down to the ocean. For people who love to stay updated on space missions, watching the launch is definitely a bonanza.
