A replay of the Falcon Heavy lifting off from Kennedy Space Center on July 28, 2023, carrying the heaviest commercial communications satellite ever. Listen to the roar of the rocket's 27 Merlin first-stage engines, recorded in stereo from the Launch Complex 39 Press Site (audio has been synced with the video). Wait to the very end to hear the double sonic booms from each booster as they returned to Cape Canaveral and listen out for the screech of the metal panels on the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).
The Falcon Heavy successfully launched the Jupiter 3/EchoStar 24 broadband satellite for EchoStar's HughesNet.
