Arabsat-6A

Falcon Heavy's commercial debut — the second flight of the vehicle and the first with all-Block-5 hardware across all three cores. All three boosters landed: the two side cores returned to Landing Zones 1 and 2 simultaneously, and the central core touched down on the drone ship downrange. The core's landing, however, did not survive the transit home; rough seas prevented SpaceX from securing it to the deck with the Octagrabber (which had not yet been configured for the heavier Falcon Heavy core), and it toppled overboard.

Arabsat-6A, the payload, was a high-capacity Ku- and Ka-band communications satellite built by Lockheed Martin for the pan-Arab intergovernmental operator Arabsat. The Falcon Heavy lofted it into a supersynchronous transfer orbit peaking at 90,000 km to reduce the satellite's own propellant load needed to reach geostationary altitude.
