The launch window opens at 10:21am ET, with a backup slot on April 28.

Viasat-3 F3 satellite to boost broadband
This flight's main goal is to send up the Viasat-3 F3 satellite, which will help boost broadband internet across the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
Falcon Heavy packs a punch with three Falcon 9 boosters and over 5 million pounds of thrust.
After liftoff, its side boosters will land back at Cape Canaveral for reuse, a move that keeps launches more sustainable and affordable for future missions.
