The payload is a massive satellite known as EchoStar 24, or Jupiter 3.

It has a total payload mass of 9.2 metric tons, making it the heaviest geostationary satellite that we have ever launched,, which is behind the project. Jupiter 3 was constructed by Maxar and will feature a brand-new architecture that is based on multiple advancements.
The device is a new ultra-high-density satellite that will also double the capacity of the Hughes Jupiter fleet, which will support in-flight Wi-Fi, new maritime connections, backhaul Mobile Network Operators, and even community wireless internet solutions. The launch will be just as momentous as what the satellite hopes to accomplish, too, because of how large it is, and how it will showcase the power of the Falcon Heavy, which is one of SpaceX’s most powerful rockets. The satellite, once fully deployed, will have a wingspan of 10 stories and will feature 14 solar panels to help power it.
