Falcon Heavy's first commercial flight launched the Arabsat-6A geostationary communications satellite, built by Lockheed Martin, from Kennedy Space Center. Both side boosters landed simultaneously at Landing Zones 1 and 2, while the center core landed on the droneship but tipped over in rough seas during transport and was lost.
