Celestial
Sphere
An imaginary sphere encompassing the Earth that represents the
sky. Astronomers chart the sky using the celestial coordinates of
the sphere to locate objects in the cosmos. This sphere is divided
into 88 sections called constellations. Objects are sometimes named

Aero-Linx: Falcon
Heavy
Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful rocket, represents
SpaceX’s entry into the heavy lift launch vehicle category.
With the ability to carry satellites or interplanetary spacecraft
weighing over 53 metric tons (117,000 lb) to Low Earth Orbit (LEO),
Falcon Heavy can lift nearly twice the payload of the next closest
vehicle, the US Space Shuttle, and more than twice the payload of
the Delta IV Heavy.
"Europe will remain a significant market and account for
roughly 20% of all worldwide deliveries over the next decade, down
slightly from the historical average of 25%. And we see an
interesting opportunity in that a disproportionate share of
deliveries will go to new customers in Eastern Europe, while
Western Europe becomes more of a replacement market for aging
aircraft."
