New York (CNN Business) Rough weather at sea toppled one of the three boosters used during the launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket last week. The booster landed on a platform off the coast of Florida after the rocket's successful launch on Thursday. The fall was a hiccup in an otherwise successful mission — the company's first use of Falcon Heavy since its debut flight in February 2018. Falcon Heavy, which is the most powerful operational rocket in the world, was used to put a satellite from the Saudi Arabia-based TV and radio provider Arabsat into orbit. SpaceX is the only rocket company that safely lands boosters after launching orbital missions.
