The second stage of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy fired its engines for more than a minute, before experiencing the second stage engine cut off of this mission.

The GOES-U satellite now will coast for just under four hours before its final burn, establishing it in a geostationary orbit, about 22,236 miles above Earth.
