SpaceX’s new Falcon Heavy rocket went vertical for the first time last week. Now SpaceX has released a flyover video of the launchpad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center that gives us the best view yet of the the Falcon Heavy.

SpaceX published the video to Instagram with a caption noting that the Falcon Heavy will be the “most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two.”
With the rocket in its position for launch, SpaceX will next perform a static fire to make sure all of the the rocket’s 27 engines are working properly. The company hopes to launch the rocket sometime this month.
