Falcon Heavy consists of three reusable Falcon 9 rockets, each of which has nine-engine cores. It combines a total of 27 Merlin engines to produce over 5 million pounds of thrust to send this vehicle into the air.

The first stage contains liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellant. These rockets have 4 rocket legs on each booster made with aluminum honeycomb. Also, the grid fins help to navigate the booster back to its position at the landing site.
