In 2011, SpaceX announced plans for the Falcon Heavy rocket. While the Dragon mission to the ISS carried 7,300 pounds of pressurized cargo, future missions aboard the Falcon Heavy rocket will carry around 53 tons of cargo into low-Earth orbit. Falcon Heavy will be the most powerful rocket in the world and historically is second only to the Apollo-era Saturn V moon rocket.
