SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket has conducted its second flight on Thursday, carrying its first customer payload – the Arabsat-6A communications satellite into space. Following a delay on Wednesday due to unacceptable Upper Level winds, Falcon Heavy lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at the start of a one hour, 57-minute window that opened at 18:35 Eastern Time (22:35 UTC), taking a little over 34 minutes to deploy its payload into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
