SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket lifts off on 1st launch in 18 months.
A Falcon Heavy topped with the huge ViaSat-3 F3 communications satellite launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on Wednesday (April 29), lifting off at 10:13 a.m. EDT (1413 GMT).
The 6.6-ton (6 metric tons) satellite is headed to geostationary orbit (GEO) which lies 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above Earth. It will be deployed about five hours after launch, if all goes to plan.
