It is known that the other two outer booster blocks Falcon Heavy successfully landed after launch, but on the average accelerator only one of the three engines in the overclocking block worked, as a result of which it fell into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It is noted that the fall speed is about 482 km / h.

Initially, it was planned that the accelerator could land on a floating platform, but it landed 90 meters from an unmanned ship.

The Falcon Heavy rocket flew from NASA's Kennedy Space Center from Cape Canaveral, Fla.. Approximately two and a half minutes after the rise, two external rocket accelerators broke away and returned to Earth. They landed on SpaceX landing sites on the cape called Landing Zone 1 and Landing Zone 2.



It is reported that approximately three minutes after the rise, the central core separated from the upper stage - the upper part of the rocket, which had a payload Falcon Heavy, roadster Tesla Road Ilona Mask.

Now the upper stage will take about six hours, demonstrating a complex orbital maneuver for the US Air Force.

As previously reported in URA-Inform, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said that Ukraine conducted the first successful test of a new cruise missile of domestic production.
