SpaceX's Falcon Heavy successfully launches ViaSat-3 satellite amidst weather delays.

SpaceX successfully launched the ViaSat-3 broadband satellite on a Falcon Heavy rocket after several delays caused by severe weather. The primary payload was deployed around four hours and 32 minutes after lift-off, followed by two rideshare payloads. The ViaSat-3 Americas satellite will take close to three weeks to reach its final GEO position and will provide more than 1,000 gigabits per second of capacity. The launch was part of a long-running series of setbacks for Viasat, which had originally planned to deploy the first of three ViaSat-3 satellites in 2019.
