Launch Details
SpaceX Falcon Heavy USSF-44
Nov 01, 2022 09:40 AM Launch Complex 39A • Kennedy Space CenterMISSION:
It's been more than 40 months since the last Falcon Heavy launch! Make sure to reserve your spot to see the mighty rocket take flight.
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the USSF-44 mission for the U.S. Space Force. The mission is expected to deploy two spacecraft payloads directly into geosynchronous orbit, one of which is the TETRA 1 microsatellite.
For this launch, the Falcon Heavy's two side boosters will land on landing zone 1 and landing zone 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and the core stage will be expended. During this double landing, you will be able to see the boosters descend back towards the landing zones, like seen in the video below, and then experience a double sonic boom from their re-entry.
LAUNCH VIEWING:
Visitor complex parking will open at 4:30 AM. The entry gates will open at 5:00 AM. Plan to arrive early and for increased traffic in to the visitor complex.
