Launch Falcon Heavy / ViaSat-3 F3 (ViaSat-3 Asia-Pacific)

Launch window 10:21-11:46 EDT | 04:21-05:46 HST | 14:21-15:46 UTC for first Falcon Heavy launch since 2024, sending to Geostationary Transfer Orbit 3 Ka-band satellites offering 1-terabit-per-second capability.

Falcon Heavy history and projected launches:

• 1st launch, in 2018, propelled a Tesla Roadster and astronaut mannequin to heliocentric orbit. (SpaceX CEO Elon Musk also leads Tesla.)
• Europa Clipper launched in 2024 to the Jupiter moon.
• Astrobotic Technologies’ Griffin-1 to the Moon NET July 2026, and Griffin-2 to the Moon NET January 2027.
• Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launching NET October 2026.

Few missions need this much rocket juice. SpaceX’s 165 launches in 2025 were all Falcon 9s, or test missions of Starship.
