The world’s most powerful operational rocket could finally launch again as soon as next week.
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket in the world, is approaching its first launch in over three years. The massive launch system, which is powered by three modified Falcon 9 first-stage boosters, is now linked together and awaiting launch from Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
Ahead of the launch, SpaceX has shared an image of the behemoth’s 27 Merlin engines on Twitter. “Falcon Heavy in the hangar at Launch Complex 39A,” the company wrote alongside the impressive photo.
