CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â SpaceX's giant new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, is set for its risky first test launch today (Feb. 6) from the historic Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch window stretches from 1:30 to 4 p.m. EDT (1830 to 2100 GMT).
The Falcon 9 rocket family includes the retired Falcon 9 v1.0 and v1.1, the currently operational Falcon 9 Full Thrust and its Block 4 upgrade, Falcon Heavy, and the in-development Falcon 9 Block 5. Falcon Heavy is a heavy-lift derivative of Falcon 9: it joins a strengthened central core with two Falcon 9 first stages as side boosters. The Falcon 9, designed and manufactured by SpaceX, features a reusable first-stage booster, landing either on a ground pad near the launch site, or on a drone ship at sea.
