SpaceX is targeting Thursday, April 11 for a Falcon Heavy launch of the Arabsat-6A satellite from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch window opens at 6:35 p.m. EDT, or 22:35 UTC, and closes at 8:31 p.m. EDT, or 00:31 UTC on Friday, April 12. The satellite will be deployed approximately 34 minutes after liftoff.
Falcon Heavy is officially in business.
Arabsat chose SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket to launch its newest satellite in order to give the satellite a longer lifespan, Khalid Balkheyour, Arabsat’s chief executive, said in an interview with SpaceNews.
It was afternoon in Florida when SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral on its first commercial mission. The most powerful rocket in activity launched the Arabsat-6A satellite, which after about 34 minutes separated from the rocket's last stage entering a transit orbit from where it started the maneuvers that will take it towards a geostationary orbit within a bit more than two weeks.
Era notte fonda in Italia quando SpaceX ha lanciato da Cape Canaveral il razzo Falcon Heavy nella sua prima missione commerciale. Il razzo più potente in attività ha lanciato il satellite Arabsat-6A, che dopo circa 34 minuti si è separato dall'ultimo stadio del razzo entrando nell'orbita di transito da cui ha iniziato le manovre che lo porteranno verso un'orbita geostazionaria nel giro di poco più di due settimane.
