The world's most powerful missile appears on the launch pad

was launched for the first time before the upcoming engine test in the next few days.

Billionaires' aerospace company shares photos and videos of Falcon Heavy missiles at the 39A launcher at the Kennedy, Florida Space Center, where the shuttle and Apollo missions once took off, last week, Space yesterday reported.

"With a thrust of more than 22.2 million newtons when taking off, equivalent to the capacity of 18 747s, Falcon Heavy will become the world's most powerful rocket , " SpaceX representative shared on social networks Twitter and Instagram. .

The power of Falcon Heavy missiles comes from 27 engines on the first floor, three times more than SpaceX's Falcon 9 cargo missiles. In fact, Falcon Heavy's first floor consists of three Falcon 9 missile cores combined. All three push floors are designed for reuse. After taking off, they will fly back to Earth to respond vertically to a predetermined position as in most Falcon 9 flights.

Although Falcon Heavy finally appeared on the launch pad last week, the rocket continued to be placed horizontally after about a day. SpaceX's next important step is to conduct a static engine test to see if the rocket engine works well and is ready to fly. SpaceX will erect Falcon Heavy missiles on the launch pad 39A and activate all 27 engines while the vehicle is kept in place.

Similar to Falcon 9, Heavy is a two-tier rocket. The second floor is equipped with a Merlin engine like the Falcon 9. If the plan goes well, Falcon Heavy will bring a red electric convertible produced by the Musk company Tesla into deep space. this month.

"New missile test flights often carry large models in concrete or steel blocks. That sounds extremely boring. Of course, anything boring is bad, especially for companies, so we decided to send something out of the ordinary. The cargo will be an original version of David Bowie's Space Oddity song , " explains Musk.

However, there is no guarantee that everything will go as planned. The first launches were very risky and Musk shared he was not surprised if the Falcon Heavy missile failed."I hope it will fly away from the launch platform far enough to not cause damage. I even consider it a victory , " Musk said.
