12月28日晚上，一枚重型猎鹰火箭在佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心发射，这是该火箭可重复使用的侧助推器的第五次发射。飞行大约2分20秒后，两侧助推器从火箭的核心级分离。从助推器分离后开始，这段三分钟长的曝光记录了这对夫妇非凡的助推器燃烧，在他们返回地球着陆区之前进行的演习。虽然没有尝试回收猎鹰重型火箭的核心级，但两侧的助推器都成功着陆，可以再次飞行。这些侧助推器的前四次飞行包括去年10月美国宇航局发射的小行星赛姬任务。他们的下一次飞行计划是2024年10月发射的木卫二快船任务。

The December 28 night launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida marked the fifth launch for the rocket's reusable side boosters. About 2 minutes 20 seconds into the flight, the two side boosters separated from the rocket's core stage. Starting just after booster separation, this three minute long exposure captures the pair's remarkable boostback burns, maneuvers executed prior to their return to landing zones on planet Earth. While no attempt was made to recover the Falcon Heavy's core stage, both side boosters landed successfully and can be flown again. The four previous flights for these side boosters included last October's launch of NASA's asteroid-bound Psyche mission. Their next planned flight is on the Europa Clipper mission scheduled for launch in October 2024.
