SpaceX brings Falcon Heavy rocket to the field for the MaxFiy mission

SpaceX company transported the Falcon Heavy rocket to the LC-39A launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center via transport. One.uz reports this.

This operation is considered a critical stage in the preparation process for an upcoming major flight. It is intended to carry out a secret mission aimed at ensuring US national security.

According to Ixtbt.com, this rocket will perform the secret NROL-97 mission organized for the interests of the US National Intelligence Agency and Space Forces. Currently, specialists are testing all systems and bringing pre-flight preparations to the final stage.

The next significant flight of the Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled to take place on October 1, 2026, at 11:53 PM Eastern Time from the LC-39A launch pad. This time corresponds to the morning of October 2 in Tashkent time.

During the mission, the primary task is to deploy the payload into orbit and ensure its safety. After the rocket lifts off into space and completes its mission, it is expected that its boosters will successfully return to Earth.

According to the plan, they are required to land softly on the LZ-1 and LZ-2 landing pads. It is noteworthy that boosters previously used will be employed in this flight: one of them is on its fourth, and the other is embarking on its second space flight.

Regarding the achievements in the history of Falcon Heavy, SpaceX's heavy-lift rocket made its debut in 2018. Since then, these rockets have successfully completed a total of 13 orbital missions.

Most importantly, all of them concluded with a 100 percent success rate. According to statistical data, not a single launch involving Falcon Heavy resulted in the loss of payload or an emergency during orbit insertion.

This once again confirms that the company's technologies are highly reliable and perfect.
