SpaceX gears up for Monday's Falcon Heavy launch
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - SpaceX says 'all systems go' for Monday's planned launch out of Cape Canaveral.
The company is sending up a Falcon Heavy rocket, carrying 24 satellites for NASA and the Department of Defense.
Officials say each satellite will need to be dropped in a different orbit, meaning the Falcon Heavy will fire up its engines several times over the course of the hours-long mission in space.
The rocket is also sending up some experimental devices.
Monday's launch window opens at 11:30 p.m.
