SpaceX is marching ever closer to launching a brand new, huge rocket for the first time this summer.。

A new video released by the Elon Musk-founded spaceflight company shows a test firing of one of the boosters that will be used for a Falcon Heavy rocket launch.。

SEE ALSO:SpaceX's most recent rocket landing looks like something out of science fiction。

The "side booster" will eventually be strapped onto the main stage of the Falcon Heavy to help give it the extreme power it needs to fly heavy payloads to orbit and beyond. 。

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy is designed to be the company's most powerful rocket yet. In total, the rocket will be outfitted with two side boosters and a main booster. 。
