Watch a SpaceX Fairing's Fiery Re-Entry Through the Atmosphere By Nancy_A
The mission launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, April 30. The primary payload was the broadband ViaSat-3 Americas satellite, and two smaller satellites were sent directly to geosynchronous Earth orbit . Because of needing to boost the payloads to GEO and expending all the fuel, the rest of the rocket was not retrievable.
The two smaller payloads are the Arcturus satellite to provide broadband services to the state of Alaska, and G-Space 1, a cubesat from Gravity Space. As of now, the Falcon Heavy is scheduled to launch three more missions this year. An Air Force classified mission called USSF-52 is scheduled for launch no earlier than June 23, while the Echostar 24 Ka band satellite will fly no earlier than August 2023. The NASA Psyche asteroid mission’s launch is targeted for October 5, 2023.
