Hughes Jupiter 3 Launch Time

On Thursday, July 27, 08:34 AM IST is the anticipated launch time for the Elon Musk-led enterprise.

Hughes Jupiter 3 Launch Rocket Name

At the NASA Kennedy Space Centre in Florida's Launch Complex-39A, the Falcon Heavy Rocket carrying Jupiter 3 will take off. 

Until NASA launched the Artemis 1 mission using the Space Launch System (SLS), the Falcon Heavy had the biggest payload capacity of all operational rockets.

Even more potent than that is expected to be SpaceX's Starship Rocket System, which is now undergoing testing and development.

• About Falcon Heavy Rocket

Falcon Heavy is a very heavy-lift launch vehicle that can send payloads into Earth orbit and beyond. It is partially reusable. American aerospace corporation SpaceX is in charge of its creation, production, and launch. 

Hughes Jupiter 3 Launch Site

SpaceX is currently gearing up to launch the Hughes JUPITER 3 mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Florida's Kennedy Space Centre into a geosynchronous transfer orbit.

The side boosters of Falcon Heavy will return to Earth and touch down on Landing Zones 1 and 2 about eight minutes after launch.

Hughes Jupiter 3 Satellite Details

According to Maxar, the company that created the satellite, the Jupiter 3 spacecraft has a unique design based on a number of cutting-edge technologies, such as solid-state amplifiers, electronics miniaturization, and more effective antenna designs. 

By joining Hughes' current Jupiter satellite network, its capacity will increase to 500 GBps, doubling from now on.

According to Hughes, it will give HughesNet users access to satellite internet with speeds reaching as high as 100 Mbps in the US and Latin America.

The overall length of a commercial airliner, which can be between 130 and 160 feet, will be comparable to the size of Jupiter 3.

In addition to enabling services like private Wi-Fi, the satellite will also allow in-flight Wi-Fi.

The system is expected to be operational by 2024 and will provide a connection speed of 150 gigabytes per second, which is three times faster than the archipelago's present satellite internet bandwidth.
