Flacon Heavy was launched 3 times to date and is known as one of the most powerful rockets ever made. Not only the rocket is strong but has the ability to lift twice the payload of the closest operational vehicle. SpaceX’s current launches of Starlink and crew-dragon to the space orbit were from Flacon 9. And the Flacon Heavy rocket has three Falcon 9 engines forming 27 Merlin engines. Together they produce over 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff.
Mission
Falcon Heavy will be launched from the historic launchpad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The agency stated in a press conference, “The total contract award amount for launch services is approximately $178 million.” NASA would be saving $2 billion by sending SpaceX Falcon Heavy to the Jovian system.
