SpaceX has delayed its Falcon Heavy launch carrying the ViaSat-3 F3 high-capacity communications satellite after adverse weather conditions scrubbed the mission moments before liftoff. The satellite is designed for deployment into geosynchronous transfer orbit to expand global broadband coverage. Despite the setback, the launch remains closely watched, with Falcon Heavy returning after a long break.
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launch was canceled today due to weather, disrupting Florida’s rapidly growing 2026 rocket schedule, which has already seen 29 launches by April 27. Attention is now on a ULA Atlas V mission carrying Amazon’s Leo satellites, while SpaceX is set to attempt a Starlink launch later in the week.
