The scheduled launch from Cap Canaveral, Florida to 1:30 pm (1830 GMT), is still the most ambitious for SpaceX, and it was awarded by industry experts as a game-changer due to its ability to pursue a California-based company. For the forefront of the modern day space race.
Eric Seedhaus, Assistant Professor of Aviation Science, applied at Embryonical Written Aeronautical University told AFP, "NASA can decide to use it (Falcon Heavy) to track its plans to move on the Moon and Mars As a way ".
Jason Davis of the Planetary Society said that the launch on Tuesday is a "huge deal, even for a space flight company, which regularly meets big deals," described Falcon Heavy as "mythical" Does.
No people are on the board, only a pupil who wears the future spikes, CEO Elon Musk's own cherry is in tight red in the Red Tesla car.
"Storm in the Red Roadster", Musk posted on Instagram Monday, in which the payload of rocket was displayed on a checkpoint, which was to target Skyward.Kasturi has also said that during the launch, David Bowie's hit "Space Auditee" will play in the vehicle.
To preview the launch, an animated video released by SpaceX showed the three rocket boosters returning to Earth directly for landing, while the car and the effigy emerged from the protective nose cone and left in orbit.
The car is destined for an elliptical chamber around the sun, carrying it around the planet Mars.
Mask told reporters, "Sometimes it will come closer to Mars, and there is a small chance that it will take Mars." "Extremely small."
Kasturi reiterated his warning that the first launch of Falcon Heavy - a project that was first introduced in 2011 could actually be unsuccessful. It can also explode on the launchpad.
They said, "I will consider winning if it only clears the pad and does not dump the pad."It is also an opportunity that Tesla can not pass it less than the orbit of the Earth. Firstly it will have to go through the violent van allan belt, where it will be charged by the particles for about six hours.
Musk said, "It has become very difficult."Even if there is an accident on Tuesday, Seedhaus said that it is unlikely to harm the reputation of SpaceX - is already a top cargo supplier for the International Space Station, which is $ 1.6 billion contract with NASA And is busy with a continuous flow of satellite clients and government payloads.
"Last year, they had more launches than any other country in the world - never do not vote for any other company," Seed House said."Every failure they have had they bounced straight back."
The most powerful in operationFalcon heavy is essentially three Falcon 9 rockets, in which there are 27 total Merlin engines.
SpaceX has said that these engines have increased "lift-off" more than five million pounds, roughly equivalent to eighteen 747 aircraft.
The 230-foot (70-meter) rocket is designed to carry around 141,000 pounds (64 metric tons) in orbit, more than the fully loaded 737 jetliner's mass.
Although SpaceX has said that the "Falcon Heavy" was launched to take people into space and plans for one day to change people to restore the possibility of flying missions with the crew for the Moon or Mars.
Kasturi said that under development another big rocket, called BFR - can be one for transportation of small-crew for "Big fucking rocket", while the Falcon can be reserved for heavy equipment.
In any case, when the Falcon heavy closed, "it will be the most powerful operation rocket in the world due to two factors," SpaceX said.Falcon Heavy is designed to exploit more than the payload of Delta IV Heavy, next to the nearest operating vehicle, at a very low cost.
According to the United Launch Alliance, delta IV heavy projection costs about $ 350 million.The Falcon Heavy of SpaceX starts around $ 90 millionSeedhouse said, "This is the way, way below anything in the government launch industry," Seed House said.
The last rockets which are no longer commissioned are more powerful than the Falcon Heavy - including the Saturn V Moon Rocket, which was blown in the last 1973, which used to deliver more payloads in the classroom.
Soviet era energy, which was flying twice in 1987 and 1988, was even more powerful than the Falcon Heavy.
The United States has been unable to send its own astronauts in space since 2011, when the 30-year shuttle program ended, thereby relying on the Russian Soyuz rocket to transport the world's astronauts to the International Space Station. get left.
NASA is building its huge rocket, which is called Space Launch System, but the costs are high and the project is completely few years away.
