Launch readies for trajectories of change with introduction of Falcon Heavy and other rockets

摘要

SpaceX's next-generation Falcon Heavy rocket is leading the trajectory of change in commercial launch, with increased mission affordability perhaps the foremost benefit. Though there are questions about the level of demand for it, observers expect Falcon Heavy to cling to the cost-discipline model of sister rocket Falcon 9, improving affordability for missions with hefty cargo requirements. Other benefits they cite include enlargement of the sphere of commercial space, more launch providers, more interest from investors in launch and others.
