SpaceX's most powerful operational rocket successfully took off Friday evening, carrying the world's largest commercial communications satellite en route to orbit high above Earth.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s three-fuselage Falcon Heavy ferried the massive payload into orbit at 11:04 p.m. local time from the company's launchpad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flight is ongoing and deployment of the satellite is slated for 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.

Every year there are various space missions conducted to study the mysteries of the solar system. One such mission was launched by NASA nearly 17 years back to study the Sun. The spacecraft, known as the STEREO-A, collected data and was instrumental in unveiling various discoveries over the years. It had a partner too in the form of STEREO-B craft, but communication was lost with it. Now after 17 years, the STEREO-A spacecraft is rushing towards a rendezvous with the Earth. Notably, NASA has taken this opportunity to make STEREO-A further study the Sun from this vantage point in order to collect new information about our closest star.
