The rocket will be carrying three satellites, including the primary payload, the broadband ViaSat-3 Americas satellite, which weighs 14,000 pounds and will be delivered to a geostationary orbit. The other two satellites, Astranis’s first MicroGEO satellite and Gravity Space’s GS-1 satellite, are also headed for geostationary orbit.
will require them to expel their fuel, making a landing impossible. This will be the first time that SpaceX intentionally disposes of all three Falcon Heavy boosters,more than 20,000 miles above Earth, which is about one-tenth the distance to. Many communication and weather satellites work in GEO because it allows them to remain in a fixed position relative to the Earth’s surface.
