What SpaceX Falcon Heavy Just Did Shocked NASA Scientists!
Watching SpaceX Falcon Heavy's two side boosters ditching from the core after launch and guiding themself back to Earth deserves to be on the bucket lists of many people including Nasa's scientist.
Not by chance, a new entrant in rocketry, whose usefulness has always been doubted due to low market demand, can do things beyond the imagination of veterans.
So what is the secret weapon behind Falcon Heavy's success?
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
What SpaceX Falcon Heavy Just Did Shocked NASA Scientists!
On June 25, SpaceX has launched successfully the first Falcon Heavy mission of 2024 and the tenth for the rocket overall, namely the Goes-U weather satellite.
The Goes-U is the fourth and final member of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Goes-R series of Earth-observing craft.
The heavy lifter's two side boosters returned to Earth as planned, touching down at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which is next door to KSC, about eight minutes after liftoff. This homecoming created a whole different experience for onlookers than the launches of Goes-U's three sibling satellites, all of which soared into space on United Launch Alliance's Atlas 5 rocket, which is not reusable.

The central booster did not come back safely on today's mission; the launch required it to burn so much of its fuel that it didn't have enough for a controlled return to Earth.
And while you feel this is normal, let me tell you a story:
Falcon Heavy never gets old. Each launch of this masculine rocket attracts a huge of public attention even though 6 years have passed since its first launch and its number of launches so far is just counted on your fingers.
Clearly, its maiden launch in 20 18 is a legendary event for many people. The hotel in the area is completely sold out. The parking lots are parked. The reason is very simple: this is not a typical day in Space Coast.
Falcon Heavy at that time is the biggest rocket in the world. With 70 meters in height and 3.7 meters in diameter, it consists of three modified, strapped-together first stages of SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket. Contemporary rockets such as Russia's Soyuz is just 45.6 meters in height and 10.3 meters in diameter.
