Falcon Heavy remains go for launch at 1:30pm on Tuesday
Spaceflight Now @SpaceflightNowSpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket has emerged from its hangar and rolled up the ramp to launch pad 39A in Florida ahead of liftoff scheduled for Tuesday. https://spaceflightnow.com/2018/02/05/falcon-heavy-demo-flight-mission-status-center/ …
Looks like @elonmusk has arrived in Florida this evening for launch of #FalconHeavy, still targeting liftoff at 1:30pm EST Feb 6 from pad 39A, #SpaceX.
Falcon Heavy is vertical @NASASpaceflight! We have remote setup in just a few hours. This is going to be a blast!
Official from #spacex - Pre launch conference call set with @elonmusk at roughly 2pm EDT today to speak about #falconheavy
Uploaded on 5 Feb 2018 When Falcon Heavy lifts off, it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost.Falcon Heavy's first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Following liftoff, the two side boosters separate from the center core and return to landing sites for future reuse. The center core, traveling further and faster than the side boosters, also returns for reuse, but lands on a drone ship located in the Atlantic Ocean.At max velocity the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.
All systems remain green for launch at 1:30pm EST tomorrow
