About Falcon Heavy
Falcon Heavy is effectively three Falcon 9 first stages combined, making it one of the most powerful operational rockets. It flies less often than Falcon 9 and is reserved for heavy or high-energy payloads.
It launches from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. When the two side boosters return for a near-simultaneous landing, the double sonic booms are heard across the Space Coast.
