The Falcon Heavy is slated to launch the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) GOES-U satellite for weather monitoring in the Western atmosphere. 

During the talk, SpaceX's NASA science liaison Juliana Scheiman explained that her firm's decision to use the Falcon Heavy to launch the satellite would help extend its lifetime, and the GOES-U program director added that the rocket would extend the satellite's life span by five years.
