The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket's 6th flight will launch the ViaSat-3 Americas satellite, a 14,000-pound (6,400 kilograms) broadband satellite that will be operated by California-based company Viasat. How to watch live: https://www.space.com/spacex-falcon-heavy-sixth-mission-launch-viasat-3-americas
The second payload is Arcturus, a communications craft that will be operated by San Francisco-based Astranis Space Technologies.
According to Space.com, none of the boosters will be recovered on today's mission, presumably because they won't have enough fuel left over to maneuver themselves safely back to Earth for a vertical touchdown.
