Falcon Heavy

Falcon Heavy Falcon Heavy is an American superheavy—class launch vehicle with the possibility of reuse of the first stage and side boosters, designed and manufactured by SpaceX, is one of the largest launch vehicles in the history of world space rocketry, along with Saturn-5, H-1, Space Shuttle system and Energia. It belongs to the Falcon family and was developed on the basis of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, using its substantially modified first stage as the central unit (stage I), as well as two additional modified Falcon 9 first stages as side boosters (the so-called "zero stage"). At the time of the first launch, it is the most load—lifting, powerful and heavy launch vehicle in operation. Falcon Heavy also holds the absolute record for the number of main engines (28, including 27 simultaneously operating) among successfully flying launch vehicles. From an engineering point of view, it is of undoubted interest that if Falcon Heavy successfully "accumulates statistics of successful l
