Falcon Heavy ViaSat-3 Americas Flight Vehicle
Falcon Heavy's sixth flight delivered ViaSat-3 Americas and two rideshare spacecraft directly to near-geostationary orbit. All three first-stage cores were intentionally expended for the high-energy mission; ViaSat-3's later antenna problem was a spacecraft issue, not a launch-vehicle failure.
