• Rocket Lab has a cool niche with this launch. They’re sending the customer payload to a 640-kilometer mid-inclination orbit, which would be a little annoying to transfer over to from a general-purpose rideshare mission.

  • The satellite will be the most massive GEO satellite ever launched, massing 9,200 kilograms

    That is a big bird. I love a good Falcon Heavy launch, and it’s cool to see it help push some boundaries like this.
