SpaceX Falcon Heavy ready for liftoff Tuesday after 3-year hiatus

ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s the biggest game in town for now, but has not flown in more than three years. Fans of SpaceX, though, will have a chance to see what is currently the most powerful rocket in use launch on a mission from Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday.

SpaceX said it was targeting Nov. 1 for the launch after it stated it had successfully completed the Falcon Heavy static fire. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex added the launch to its viewing schedule with a liftoff slated for 9:40 a.m.

The Space Launch Delta 45 weather squadron should put out a warning by Saturday for aircraft and boats to stay out of the range along with a three-day forecast for weather.
