A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled to launch the Echostar Jupiter 3 satellite from the Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A in Florida.
The payload, also known as Echostar 24 and Hughes Jupiter 3, will be the heaviest geostationary satellite to date at 9.2 metric tons.

The side boosters will land back in Florida a few minutes after separation.
