Watch Live: SpaceX Falcon Heavy Aims For 4th Ever Liftoff From Space Coast | Spacex Launch Live

The first Falcon Heavy launch in more than three years places into orbit a classified payload for the United States Space Force. SpaceX is gearing up for its most powerful and largest rocket launch of the year later this week after the firm has finished assembling its Falcon Heavy rocket at NASA’s facilities in the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch will mark the first time that the Falcon Heavy takes to the skies since 2019, the rocket’s first flight since 2019 when it carried out a space test flight program for the United States Space Force. The Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket in SpaceX’s inventory and will continue to be so until its Starship rocket, currently under development in Texas, is certified for an operational flight. SpaceX built the rocket primarily to serve the needs of the national security sector of the rocket industry, but since its last launch in 2019, the Falcon Heavy has waited for its turn to take to the skies as its payloads continued to face one form of delay or another. #spacex #falcon
