The fourth time was the charm for the rocket. The most powerful rocket hasn't launched in over a year. Despite the long hiatus, the 1 November launch went off without a hitch because of its amazing power.
This launch carried two satellites from the US Space Force, which has released little information about what they will be used for. The satellites will remain over the same spot on the planet and appear motionless in the sky as they head towards a 36,000 km altitude.
The Falcon Heavy is so powerful that it will bring the satellites all the way there over six hours after the launch.
There were no problems with the rocket that caused the lengthy delay between launches. The satellites were supposed to be launched. It will likely fly again soon because there are 10 more missions on the docket.
The Psyche craft and the first parts of a planned space station are both on those missions.
