How will the launch of the Falcon Heavy heavy launch vehicle go?



    The company Ilona Mask SpaceX posted on the Internet an animation of the launch of its heavy launch vehicle Falcon Heavy. Animation shows all stages of rocket launch, with the separation of all stages returning to the launch site.

    It is worth noting that the capabilities of the rocket are really excellent: Falcon Heavy will be able to put about 53 tons of payload into a low orbit, and this at a reduced cost of delivering a kilogram of payload compared to other transporters.



    In order to launch, the company must carefully prepare the entire system of the complex LC-39. It also launched the Saturn V rocket, which sent the Apollo 11 to the moon. Since then, the site’s capacities have hardly been used.

    It is worth noting that the company had already conducted a test launch of the Falcon 9, then, a few weeks ago, the rocket stage returned to the launch site, but , unfortunately, it did not work out soft landing . Nevertheless, the floating platform remained in operation, and after a small repair it will be able to work again.
