Included is COSMIC-2 constellation to provide radio occultation data, along with 8 cubesat nanosatellites. Other payloads include LightSail carried by the Prox-1 nanosatellite, Oculus-ASR nanosatellite, GPIM and the Deep Space Atomic Clock. Location Launch Complex 39A Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA 185 rockets have launched from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. Rocket Falcon Heavy Length: 70 meters Diameter: 12.2 meters First Launch: February 6, 2018 The Falcon Heavy is a variant of the Falcon 9 full thrust launch vehicle and will consist of a standard Falcon 9 rocket core, with two additional boosters derived from the Falcon 9 first stage. The Falcon Heavy rocket has been launched a total of 3 times with 3 successful and 0 failed launches. Landing The side boosters will attempt to land at LZ-1 and LZ-2. Landing Zone 2 – LZ-2 LZ-2 Pad located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at the previous LC-13. Directly next to LZ-1 Return to Launch Site – RTLS A return to launch site usually means that after stage separation the booster flips and does a burn back towards the launch site, landing near where it initially launched from.
