Employees of SpaceX has created an animated video of the launch of super-heavy carrier rocket Falcon Heavy. Posted by Elon Musk in his Instagram. It shows the launch, separation of the three stages of Falcon 9 Full Thrust and landing.
The first launch of super-heavy Falcon Heavy is scheduled for November 2017. Musk believes that the start with high probability will fail. The reason for this he sees the need for synchronous operation of the 27 engines. “There’s a lot of things can go wrong,” — said the businessman.
Structurally, the first stage of the Falcon Heavy consists of a Central unit and a pair of side boosters, which is a modernized first-stage medium-heavy Falcon 9 rocket. On low reference orbit, the carrier is able to display 63.8 tonnes.
