SpaceX is targeting a Falcon Heavy launch of the ViaSat-3 F3 communications satellite from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, April 29, 2026 NET 10:13 am EDT.
This is the 12th Falcon Heavy flight overall and the first since October 2024! It will deliver the Boeing-built ViaSat-3 F3 satellite to a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO). The satellite will use its electric propulsion to reach geostationary orbit over the Asia-Pacific region.
It’s reusing its two side boosters, one is on its 22nd flight; the other on its 2nd. Both are planned to return for landings at Landing Zones 2 and 40 (LZ-2 and LZ-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which is always super fun to see.
