ArabSat 6A

Launch date: Apr 11, 2019

SpaceX will launch Arabsat 6A to a geostationary transfer orbit from SLC-39A, KSC. The satellite is a geostationary telecommunications satellite built by Lockheed Martin for the Saudi Arabian company Arabsat. This will be the first operational flight of Falcon Heavy, and also the first Block 5 Falcon Heavy. All three cores will be new Block 5 cores. The side cores are expected to land at LZ-1 and LZ-2, and the center core is expected to land on OCISLY.
