SpaceX's world's most powerful rocket fired 27 engines
US company SpaceX successfully conducted its first pre-flight static engine test, Falcon Heavy.
All 27 engines on the first floor were fired at the same time yesterday at the 39A launch pad of the Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida, USA, to check the availability of the first flight. The process only takes a few seconds and the rocket is fixed on the ground, according to the BBC.

Falcon Heavy will become the world's most powerful rocket when departing. Depending on the analysis of static engine testing, missiles will make the first flight within the next two weeks."Falcon Heavy's engine explosion test was very good yesterday morning and created a cloud of cloudiness. The rocket will be launched in more than a week," said Elon Musk, the company's chief design and engineering officer. , share on Twitter social network.

Falcon Heavy consists of three SpaceX Falcon 9 missiles combined. But the three-stage push configuration requires many detailed adjustments, including reinforcing the central push floor. 27 at the foot of the missile can propel nearly 23,000 kilonewtons, nearly double the world's most powerful rocket today, Delta IV Heavy, operated by SpaceX's competitor, United Launch Alliance. The 70m-high Falcon Heavy missile is designed to carry up to 64 tons of cargo to Earth's low orbit, though the vehicle rarely has to carry such a large cargo.

SpaceX intends to let the rocket's repulsive floor return to Earth after the similar launch. The introduction of Falcon Heavy missiles also opens up the possibility of moving larger goods out of Earth orbit such as carrying spacecraft carrying astronauts to the Moon or carrying large robots to Mars.

Due to the first flight of a rocket often accompanied by high risks, Falcon Heavy will not carry actual cargo when launched. Instead, Musk decided to put one on the rocket. He plans to launch the car on Mars orbit.
