SpaceX to Retry Falcon Heavy Launch for ViaSat-3 F3 After Weather Scrub

SpaceX will attempt a second Falcon Heavy launch from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday to deploy ViaSat-3 F3 into geostationary transfer orbit after Monday’s weather scrub. The 5.1 million pounds of thrust will power a three-booster stack (two side boosters reused, core discarded) within an 85-minute window, targeting over 1 Tbps of capacity for Asia-Pacific airline customers. On-orbit commissioning is expected to take weeks to months before the satellite enters service.
