3 – Falcon Heavy
• Uses three Falcon 9 first stages in parallel - will be the world’s largest lift capacity to orbit
• 53,000 kg (117,000 lb) to Low Earth Orbit
Page 15© SpaceX
• That is more than 2x the Space Shuttle – and half the lift of Saturn V, last launched in 1973
• Estimated to deliver a record breaking price of $1,100 per pound to orbit
4 – Crew Transport
• We are currently developing the suits, seats, life support, and emergency escape systems for Dragon to carry people
• Targeting first human flight in 3-4 years
• Our first manned flight will carry a crew of SpaceX astronauts to orbit and back
