SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket left Earth this morning at 2:30 a.m. EDT, carrying out one of their most challenging launches ever. 🚀 Who were the space traveling hitch hikers on board?⁣

Four of our technology missions aimed at studying non-toxic spacecraft fuel, deep space navigation, “bubbles” in the Earth's atmosphere and space radiation. The missions, each with a unique set of objectives, will aid in smarter spacecraft design and benefit our Moon to Mars exploration plans – bringing us one step closer to deep space exploration.
