TL;DR

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying a communications satellite for ViaSat, a small communications craft for Astranis, and cubesat for Gravity Space. This was Falcon Heavy's second flight this year and all three boosters were expended due to the mission's fuel requirements. Reusability is a key goal of SpaceX, which helps drive down costs and helps the company keep up a rapid launch schedule. This marks the 28th flight this year for SpaceX and the 100th flight that the company has flown reused payload fairings.
