12 月 28 日晚,獵鷹重型火箭從佛羅里達州肯尼迪航天中心發射升空,這標誌著該火箭可重複使用的側助推器的第五次發射。飛行開始約 2 分 20 秒後,兩個側助推器與火箭的核心級分離。從助推器分離後開始,這段長達三分鐘的曝光記錄了這對助推器在返回地球著陸區之前進行的出色的助推燃燒。雖然沒有嘗試回收獵鷹重型火箭的核心級,但兩個側助推器都成功著陸,可以再次飛行。這些側助推器之前的四次飛行包括去年 10 月發射美國宇航局的小行星 "Psyche "任務。
原文:The December 28 night launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida marked the fifth launch for the rocket's reusable side boosters. About 2 minutes 20 seconds into the flight, the two side boosters separated from the rocket's core stage. Starting just after booster separation, this three minute long exposure captures the pair's remarkable boostback burns, maneuvers executed prior to their return to landing zones on planet Earth. While no attempt was made to recover the Falcon Heavy's core stage, both side boosters landed successfully and can be flown again. The four previous flights for these side boosters included last October's launch of NASA's asteroid-bound Psyche mission.
