Falcon 9
Falcon 9, the world’s first orbital class reusable rocket, is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of people and payloads. Reusability allows SpaceX to refly the most expensive parts of the rocket, which in turn drives down the cost of space access. Falcon 9 is capable of carrying payloads weighing up to 50,265 lbs (22,800 kg) into low-Earth orbit, up to 18,300 lbs (8,300 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit, and up to 8,860 lbs (4,020 kg) to Mars.
Falcon Heavy
Falcon Heavy is the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. Falcon Heavy is composed of three Falcon 9 nine engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Falcon Heavy is capable of carrying payloads weighing up to 140,660 lbs (63,800 kg) into low-Earth orbit, up to 58,860 lbs (26,700 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit, and up to 37,040 lbs (16,800 kg) to Mars.
