SpaceX is marching ever closer to launching a brand new, huge rocket for the first time this summer. 。
A new video released by the Elon Musk-founded spaceflight company shows a test firing of one of the boosters that will be used for a Falcon Heavy rocket launch. 。

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy is designed to be the company's most powerful rocket yet. In total, the rocket will be outfitted with two side boosters and a main booster. 。
This is the second Falcon Heavy test video released this year. The company showed off a test of its core Falcon Heavy stage in another video put out earlier this month. 。
