American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company SpaceX carried out its first commercial launch on Thursday with its Falcon Heavy rocket easing a Saudi telecoms satellite into orbit. 

According to the report, about 34 minutes after liftoff, the shiny silver satellite was successfully deployed. Staff in the control room cheered and clapped. Earlier, boisterous spectators chanted along with the launch announcer who counted down the final 10 seconds before liftoff.

It’s the first time that company has landed all three rocket cores from one Falcon Heavy flight. The first time Falcon Heavy flew, back in February of 2018, only the two outer cores made it back to Earth in one piece. The center core of that launch missed its target drone ship, when it failed to light all three engines needed to land because of a fuel shortage. So instead the rocket booster slammed into the ocean at 300 miles per hour. Still, the synchronized booster landing became one of the most iconic images of the launch, with many likening it to a ballet.

SpaceX said that the Falcon Heavy rocket exerts 5.1 million pounds of thrust that of more than a dozen jetliners. The rocket carried a Saudi Arabian satellite operated by Arabsat, a year after sending SpaceX founder Elon Musk's slick red Tesla roadster into orbit as a test.

In Falcon Heavy's first launch, in February 2018, a dummy dubbed Starman was placed behind the wheel of Musk's roadster, which is currently orbiting the Sun somewhere between Earth and Mars. Since then, the US military and private clients have signed contracts for Falcon Heavy launches, and NASA has raised the possibility it may use the rocket for its planned missions to the Moon.
