SpaceX’s massive Falcon Heavy rocket blasted off for the second time in history on Thursday. The launch of the Falcon Heavy, which is the most powerful operational rocket in the world, was followed by the successful return of its three rocket boosters, marking the first time the company has achieved a triple landing.

The Falcon Heavy was launched at 6:35 pm ET from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It is the first commercial flight for the vehicle, which deployed the Saudi Arabian communications satellite Arabsat-6A into orbit.
