ViaSat announces ViaSat-3 F2 scheduled to launch in October

Viasat (VSAT) announced that the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 satellite is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance, ULA, Atlas V551 from Space Launch Complex 41, SLC-41, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida in the second half of October 2025. ViaSat-3 F2, which has been custom designed with state-of-the-art technology to maximize the efficient deployment of capacity and provide unparalleled performance for customers through leading SLAs, is anticipated to provide more bandwidth capacity than the entire existing fleet and marks a significant milestone for Viasat’s multi-orbit network roadmap. The satellite is planned to come into service at an important time as demand for resilient, global satellite communications from commercial mobility and defense customers is significantly increasing. ViaSat-3 F2 will be part of a global constellation that is expected to provide substantial capacity and bandwidth economics with significant flexibility to move and concentrate capacity in the highest demand places virtually anywhere – whether it is on land, at sea or in the air.
