Mission delayed due to NASA's request for additional lander tests
The Falcon Heavy is a variant of the Falcon 9 full thrust launch vehicle and consists of a standard Falcon 9 rocket core, with two additional boosters derived from the Falcon 9 first stage.
See Detailsthe sidebooster will attempt to land at the launch site after launch.
Landing Attempt Confirmedthe sidebooster will attempt to land at the launch site after launch.
Landing Attempt ConfirmedThe center core will attempt to land on an ASDS after launch.
Landing Attempt ConfirmedSpace Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
