SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket will launch from Kennedy Space Center on Monday, April 27, according to the company. The 85-minute launch window opens at 10:21 a.m. ET, with the rocket carrying ViaSat's broadband satellite to low-Earth orbit. This will be the first Falcon Heavy launch from Florida since October 2024, a gap of 18 months. The rocket generates over 5 million pounds of thrust, three times the cargo capacity of the Falcon 9, and is composed of three reusable Falcon 9 core boosters. The mission will place the satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit as the first step toward its final destination. SpaceX typically launches the Falcon 9 multiple times a month, but Falcon Heavy flights are rare. The rocket's return comes as ViaSat prepares to expand its broadband services. The launch will be visible across the Atlantic Coast, offering a rare spectacle for Floridians. SpaceX has not disclosed the exact payload mass but emphasized the satellite's role in enhancing global internet coverage. The Falcon Heavy's last Florida launch carried a classified National Security payload for the U.S. government. This mission will be the rocket's fifth launch overall, with four previous flights including satellite deployments and a test flight in 2020. The Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A will host the liftoff, a site previously used for Apollo missions and Space Shuttle launches. SpaceX officials have not confirmed if the Falcon Heavy will return to Florida for future missions after this launch.
