Falcon Heavy Launch Today

SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon Heavy rocket this morning from the Kennedy Space Center. Liftoff is set for today at 9:41am from Launchpad 39A. It will be the first launch of the triple booster rocket since 2019. It will be carrying two satellites on a secret mission for the US Space Force. The Falcon Heavy is currently the world’s most powerful rocket, with 27 Merlin engines producing more than 5 million pounds of thrust, and it will not go up quietly. Two of the three first stage boosters will also make their presence known when they return for landings at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station minutes after the liftoff this morning. Powerful sonic booms will be felt throughout Central Florida as the boosters return to earth.
