Description

Watch live coverage as a Falcon Heavy rocket launches carrying the Viasat-3 F3 satellite. Liftoff from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for 10:13 a.m. EDT (1413 UTC) on Wednesday, April 29. The rocket features two Falcon side boosters and one core booster. The two side boosters, B1072 (launching for a second time) and B1075 (launching for a 22nd time) will target landings back at Landing Zone 2 and Landing Zone 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The core stage is brand new and will be expended on this mission. The Viasat-3 F3 satellite features a mesh antenna that unfolds to the size of a football field. Once in geostationary orbit, the broadband satellite is capable of delivering a data speed of terabit-per-second (Tbps). The mission will take an easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast. Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will start about two hours prior to launch. Videos like this are made possible by the support of our members.
