SpaceX Now Aiming For Falcon 9 Test-Firing On Tuesday

SpaceX raised their first Falcon 9 rocket Monday at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and now is aiming to test-fire its nine first stage Merlin engines on Tuesday.

The 3.5-second hot-firing is tentatively scheduled at Launch Complex 40, a renovated complex that used to be used for Air Force/Lockheed Martin Titan rocket launches.
