SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Deploys Massive Satellite
30.07.2023 - 02:01 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Space
SpaceX's most powerful operational rocket successfully carried the world's largest commercial communications satellite into orbit high above Earth.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s three-fuselage Falcon Heavy took off with the massive payload at 11:04 p.m. local time Friday from the company's launchpad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The satellite was deployed about three and a half hours after liftoff.
Weighing more than nine metric tons and roughly the size of a bus, the Jupiter 3 satellite will provide wireless internet connectivity over North and South America. It will be operated by Hughes Network Systems, a unit of satellite communications company EchoStar Corp.
Elon Musk's SpaceX opted not to recover the center core of its Falcon Heavy rocket to ensure it had enough fuel to ferry the hulking cargo to its intended orbit. The vehicle's two side boosters, however, did successfully touch down on SpaceX's dual landing pads in Florida. The pair had also flown on two prior Falcon Heavy missions.
Friday's takeoff is the third for SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket in 2023 and the company's 51st mission to orbit this year. Just a day prior, SpaceX launched another Falcon 9 rocket from the company's other launchpad in Florida, with a new batch of Starlink internet satellites aboard.

NASA’s $500 Million Rocket Gamble Is Worth It
What's a government space agency like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration supposed to do if private companies like SpaceX get all the spacefaring glory? One option is to double down on investments in leading-edge advancements that may not pay off for years. Super-fast and maneuverable nuclear-powered rocket engines are one such technology. Last month, NASA, partnering with the Department of Defense, gave Lockheed Martin Corp. nearly $500 million to build and test one by 2027.
