SpaceX MONSTER Falcon Heavy Awakes, But Facing BIG PROBLEMS!

SpaceX MONSTER Falcon Heavy Awakes, But Facing BIG PROBLEMS!
As is common in spaceflight, however, that date was pushed back several years during development. There were two catastrophic failures of the Falcon 9 rocket, in 2015 and 2016. Flights were suspended both times while the cause of the failures was investigated, and that likely contributed to pushing back the timeline of the Falcon Heavy.

Huge thanks to all these amazing SpaceX Artists. Please follow them and support them through Payoneer and Twitter.

This caused a major delay in the development of the Falcon Heavy. On top of that, SpaceX was also planning to verify the Falcon Heavy for crewed flights. Although it became increasingly clear that this would take longer than expected and with more time and money developing the Starship, they decided to scrap the idea of ​​humans flying aboard the Falcon Heavy.
After fixing the issues plaguing Falcon 9, SpaceX completed a static-fire test of the Falcon Heavy center core in May 2017. By September of that year, all three boosters planned for the first flight completed static testing. In early 2018, the Falcon Heavy was pulled out of its hangar, ready for its first test flight.
Thousands gathered around the cape and millions around the world watched the Falcon Heavy fly through the sky online. After demonstrating that the Falcon Heavy could successfully fly and deliver payloads, it looked like it was ready to launchsatellites for its first customers.
This included the Arabsat communications satellite as well as the US military, who made arrangements to launch their satellites on the Falcon Heavy Way in 2012. These launches were originally scheduled only a few months after the initial test flight, but as efforts were being made to launch the upgraded Block 5 Falcon 9, SpaceX once again lagged with the Falcon Heavy.
While the Falcon Heavy may not fly as often as we would have liked until now, it’s important to point out that SpaceX has spoiled us with an unprecedented number of launches over the past few years. In 2018 alone, SpaceX achieved 20 successful launches of the Falcon 9, while other rockets like Ariane, Atlas, and Delta managed only between 3 and 6 launches.
One of the main reasons why Falcon Heavy doesn’t have many missions is the supply and demand for satellites. The Falcon Heavy is a heavy lift vehicle capable of carrying satellites up to 23 tonnes into low Earth orbit. Most importantly, it can do so while being reusable, making it the most economical heavy-lift rocket on the market.
While this is an impressive amount of capacity, most satellites typically weigh between 2 and 8 tons, making smaller rockets like the Falcon 9 far more suitable. Growth in the small satellite market has allowed private company RocketLab to flourish with its Electron rocket.
The next flight of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, previously scheduled for this month, has been pushed back to early 2022 after more delays caused by its U.S. military payload, a Space Force spokesperson said.
The launch of the Space Force’s USSF-44 mission was set for Oct. 9, 2021, but officials have delayed the mission “to accommodate payload readiness,” a spokesperson for Space Systems Command said in a response to questions from Spaceflight Now. The Space Force did not release a new launch date for the USSF-44 mission, but the spokesperson said the launch is now targeted for early 2022, nearly three years since the most recent Falcon Heavy launch in June 2019.
The Falcon Heavy will deliver multiple military payloads to a high-altitude geosynchronous orbit on the USSF-44 mission. The rocket’s upper stage will fire several times to place the satellites into position more than 22,000 miles above the equator. The upper stage flight profile will include a coast lasting more than five hours between burns, making the USSF-44 mission one of SpaceX’s most demanding launches yet.

let go spaceX and
Show them how it's done.

[odysseus]

Well produced and researched video. Thank you

The problem is I don't think the F heavy has any higher capacity as far as physical size than the F9. I think it just handles more weight in the same size package. And the current F9 has quite a high capability as far as weight so it's able to handle most missions. There will be some instances where they need to haul the extra weight but apparently not a lot. If they could build a model with extra size capability it would probably be much more useful.

elon is the iron man of this generation

Let's go space x , and forget about Jeff baszo blue origin the only thing he waits is to put you down, never I spacex

[marknelson]

What I have read is the Falcon nine heavy would be used until the new starship can do the job

[EvilDaveCanada]

The FH will most likely be mothballed and anything weighing more than a F9 can lift will just go up in the Starship

Waiting for Falcon Heavy to launch Crew Dragon around the moon

“En-oh-double A. Eff double A”. Make him stop please.

[Mordred]

When is the mission to bring back a hunk of cheese from the moon?

[glenzee]

Stupid is really stupid. I had no idea.

[ervinllorente]

Why this video discusses history? All we need to see are the problems!!

[donnabennett]

Imagine a YouTube channel analyzing a Genius. LMAO go SpaceX

[Jim.Thunda]

Another boring wanna be trying to copy ideas of other's to make a buck.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
