SpaceX launches USSF-44 mission to orbit, atop Falcon Heavy rockets

Falcon Heavy, the world's most-powerful active rocket, lifted off on Tuesday November 1 at 1341 UTC, to a geosynchronous Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This was the first launch and landing of these Falcon Heavy side boosters, which will be prepared for re-flight on a future U.S. Space Force mission later this year.
