In the present day, Falcon Heavy is the
most robust and sturdy rocket. In this, each first-stage booster of rocket contains
9 engines for 27 firing all together at a total for takeoff from Kennedy SpaceCenter of NationalAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). However, the first
launch of Falcon heavy rocket was in February 2018.

Elon Musk’s announced that it was the most
challenging and significant mission in SpaceX history which included four
separate upper-stage engine burns and three separate orbits to deploy the
satellites. The Company mentioned this on its website that all the satellites lifted into orbit had been
deployed successfully. The satellites also made contact after the launch.

In Florida, From Kennedy Space Center
a SpaceX Falcon’s heavy rocket blasted off after placing 24 experimental
satellites into orbit after what the
U.S. Space and Missile Systems Center called one of its “most strenuous launch”
ever. After the delay of 3 hours from the actual launch time on Monday, the spacecraft
upraised off to cheers from bystanders at 2:30 a.m. (0630 GMT). NASA also included a toast heater sized atomic clock for proper navigation of its spacecraft.
SpaceX said that the booster rockets were
separated cautiously as the craft began its mission to deploy the satellites
for 6 hours. The two side boosters returned safely back to Earth,
landing beside onto U.S. Air Force descending pads i.e. Cape Canaveral, but the center booster of the rocket
missed its mark. As a result, got crashed in the Atlantic Ocean not surprisingly.
Moreover, the mission is the 3rd for the SpaceX falcon heavy rocket
and is dubbed from Space Test Program 2 (STP-2).
SpaceX has been garrisoning
satellites for numerous agencies like National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA), and also to defense department laboratories, various
universities and a non-profit organization.
