Launch Date: April 30
Launch Window: 7:29pm EDT (4:29pm PDT, 23:29 UTC)
Launch site: LC-39A, Cape Canaveral, Florida
Side Booster Recovery: N/A Expended
Core Booster Recovery: N/A Expended
Boosters: Side Boosters: B1052.8 and B1053.3 Center Core: B1068.1
Mass: 6,400 kg ViaSat 3 and 300 kg Arcturus
Orbit: GEO (Direct)
Yearly Launch Number: 29
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the ViaSat 3 Americas broadband communications satellite. ViaSat 3 Americas is the first of at least three new-generation Boeing-built geostationary satellites for ViaSat. A small communications satellite named Arcturus will launch as a secondary payload for Astranis. A third cubesat will also be deployed: Nusantra H-1A at 22 kg. This mission will directly inject the satellites to geostationary orbit, thus the core and side boosters are all expendable alongside having the sixth second stage featuring Falcon mission-extension kit.
The entire stack for this launch will be expended. A first for Falcon Heavy.
