Rekordowy satelita telekomunikacyjny - Jupiter-3 (EchoStar-24)Satelita telekomunikacyjny o nazwie Jupiter-3 (EchoStar-24) został wyniesiony na orbitę w lipcu tego roku za pomocą rakiety Falcon Heavy. Jego masa startowa to około 9200 kg. Jest to najcięższy satelita telekomunikacyjny, jaki kiedykolwiek znalazł się na orbicie.

#JUPITER3 mission AND it's the largest @satellite we’ve ever built! 🤩
https://twitter.com/Maxar/status/1684340500994883585We’re pleased to announce that the largest commercial communications #satellite ever built, #JUPITER3, for @HughesConnects, an @EchoStar company, is performing as expected after launch, deploying its solar arrays & receiving & sending signals. https://bit.ly/476TOx1

4:06 AM · Jul 27, 2023
FH/Jupiter 3: Good evening; we're standing by for launch of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy carrying EchoStar's Jupiter 3 broadband relay station; liftoff from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center is set for 11:04pm EDT (0304 UTC); weather is forecast 85% go
FH/Jupiter 3: This will be the 7th launch of a Falcon Heavy and the 50th Falcon-family launch this year; core booster B1079.0 will be discarded; side boosters B1065/66, making their 3rd flight each, will attempt side-by-side landings back at the Cape Canaveral SFS
FH/Jupiter 3: Jupiter 3 is a high-speed data relay satellite bound for geosynchronous orbit to serve the Americas; equipped with 300 "spot beams," it has a capacity of more than 500 GB/s, delivering up to a gigabyte per spot beam and 100 MB/s per second to end users

FH/Jupiter 3: SpaceX has scrubbed for the night; no explanation yet
FH/Jupiter 3: SpaceX confirms launch reset to Friday, at 11:04pm EDT (0304 UTC); Starlink launch still on for tonight at 10:20pm from CCSFS LC-40; the Heavy delay almost certainly will impact the Crew 7 launch date because of pad turnaround issues, but no word yet from NASA
11:15 PM · Jul 27, 2023
FH/Jupiter 3: For planning purposes, the Crew 7 launch opportunities are 8/17-18, 8/21 and 8/25-26-27; shortly after, SpaceX will have to turn 39A around for the Falcon Heavy/Psyche launch 10/5; with the EchoStar scrub to Friday, the 8/17-18 window for Crew 7 appears in doubt

4:09 AM · Jul 29, 2023FH/Jupiter 3: Good evening; we're back again for launch of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy carrying the EchoStar/Hughes Jupiter 3 broadband relay station; liftoff from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center is set for 11:04pm EDT (0304 UTC); weather is forecast 85% go
FH/Jupiter 3: A launch try Wednesday was called off at the last minute by an unexplained technical glitch; the problem could not be resolved in time for a Thursday attempt and SpaceX pressed ahead with launch of a Falcon 9/Starlink flight from the nearby Cape Canaveral SFS
FH/Jupiter 3: Launch director is go for propellant load and launch; fueling begins at T-minus 35 minutes for a single-core Falcon 9, but will start at T-minus 50 minutes, or 10:14pm EDT, for the triple-core Falcon Heavy
FH/Jupiter 3: Tonight's flight will be the 7th for a Falcon Heavy, the 51st Falcon-family launch so far this year; core booster B1079.0 will be discarded; side boosters B1064.3/65.3, making their 3rd flight each, will attempt side-by-side landings back at the Cape Canaveral SFS

FH/Jupiter 3: LIFTOFF! At 11:04pm EDT (0304 UTC)
FH/Jupiter 3: The Falcon Heavy is putting on a spectacular overnight show, lighting up the sky for miles around as it climbs away atop more than 5 million pounds of thrust from its 27 first stage engines
FH/Jupiter 3: Side booster engine shutdown and separation confirmed; both are flipping around and reversing course to begin flights back to landing at the Cape Canaveral SFS; the core stage is continuing the climb out of the lower atmosphere
FH/Jupiter 3: Core stage engine shutdown, stage separation, 2nd stage engine ignition confirmed; unlike the side boosters, the core stage, making its 1st flight, will not be recovered
FH/Jupiter 3: Another spectacular sight - and sound, with multiple sonic booms - as both side boosters carry out side-by-side landings at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, the company's 34th and 35 successful stage recoveries in Florida and the 210th and 211th overall
FH/Jupiter 3: 2nd stage engine shutdown No. 1, good orbit confirmed; the vehicle will now coast for ~18 minutes before a 2nd engine firing at 11:30pm
FH/Jupiter 3: A quick look back at launch; the Heavy definitely puts on a show; with surround sound no less!
FH/Jupiter 3: Standing by for 2nd stage engine ignition No. 2...
FH/Jupiter 3: 2nd stage engine ignition and shutdown No. 2; good orbit confirmed; the vehicle will now coast for a long 2 hours and 54 minutes before a 3rd and final burn at 2:26am EDT to reach the planned Jupiter 3 deploy orbit
FH/Jupiter 3: 2nd stage ignition and shutdown No. 3; good orbit confirmed; Jupiter 3 deploy expected in about 5 minutes
FH/Jupiter 3: Jupiter 3 deploy confirmed; the 9-ton data relay station will use on-board thrusters to reach its operational orbit 22,300 miles above the equator at 95 degrees west longitude; the spacecraft should be checked out and in service this fall

Falcon Heavy sends Jupiter-3 broadband giant toward geostationary orbitJason Rainbow July 29, 2023
(...) The mission was delayed from July 26 to allow more time for vehicle checkouts after an abort was called with about a minute remaining in the countdown for reasons SpaceX did not detail.
EchoStar’s Hughes Networks Systems subsidiary, which is set to provide Jupiter-3’s broadband services, confirmed the satellite has started sending and receiving its first signals post-launch, and that engineers had deployed its solar arrays. (...)
Maxar said Jupiter-3, at about the size of a standard school bus when antennas and solar panels stowed and with a wingspan of a Boeing 737 when fully deployed, is the largest spacecraft it has ever made.
Jupiter-3 unseats Telesat’s Telstar-19 Vantage that launched in 2018 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 as the largest commercial communications satellite ever deployed.
Maxar-built Telstar-19 Vantage had a launch mass of roughly seven metric tons.
