SpaceX Is About To Launch A Record Setting Payload

After a long time without launches, in the last 8 months or so 3 Falcon Heavys have lifted off. At the same time, even more missions are planned this year, the next, and beyond. Right now also represents a unique time within the space industry as a lot of primary launch providers are without a rocket. Whether it’s because of delays, unexpected issues, or just planning, there are only a few available launch providers right now. Fortunately for SpaceX, they are one of those companies with both the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy continuing to fly. In only a few weeks from now, we could watch the Falcon Heavy lift off with a record-setting payload. Currently, the mission is scheduled for late July from Launch Complex 39A and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. While this date could change with upcoming crew missions, it will launch soon. Officially, this mission will carry the heaviest satellite even sent into Geostationary orbit. Weighing 9,200kg (20,300lb) this payload beats the record by quite a bit and will need the performance of the Falcon Heavy. Here I will go more in-depth into this launch, the Falcon Heavy’s busy schedule, what to expect in the coming weeks, and more. Full article here - https://thespacebucket.com/falcon-hea...
