A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is set for liftoff on Wednesday on a heavy Geostationary Mission with the Intelsat 35e communications satellite that will join the company's 'Epic' fleet of satellites offering high-capacity and high-flexibility services on a global scale for all types of services from TV distribution to mobile connectivity. Lifting one of its heaviest Geostationary Payload to date, Falcon 9 will fly in a fully-expendable configuration to devote its entire performance to boosting the satellite to its high-energy orbital destination.
