Falcon Heavy (FH) previously known as the Falcon 9 Heavy is a spaceflight launch system being designed and manufactured by SpaceX. The Falcon Heavy is a variant of the Falcon 9 – the Falcon Heavy will consist of a standard Falcon 9 rocket core to which two additional Falcon 9 first stages will be added as strap-on boosters – this will increase the low Earth orbit (LEO) payload to about 53 tonnes compared to about 13 tonnes for a Falcon 9.
