      Headline is blatantly incorrect.

      75,000kg is the LEO capacity of the rocket, not the intended weight of the sattelite. The sattelite is much lighter, at 6500kg, but intended to go to GEO.

      This is comparable to how Falcon Heavy has a LEO capacity of 64,000kg, but the heaviest sattelite it has ever launched was only 9200kg, and that was to sub-GTO – the heaviest it has ever launched to GEO was 6400kg.
