Falcon Heavy Side Boosters Stick the Landing
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy's dual first-stage side boosters have completed near-simultaneous touchdowns at Landing Zones 1 and 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Meanwhile, the rocket has completed the first second stage engine cut off. It will experience cut off twice more. The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) GOES-U (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite U) satellite continues its journey to a geostationary orbit, about 22,236 miles above the equator. It will coast for just under 20 minutes before it experiences a short burn.
