Liftoff of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is targeted for 10:16 p.m. EST (0316 UTC) tonight.
The Atlas V rocket will be rolled out to Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station the day before the launch.
The Centaur upper stage of the Atlas V rocket holds about 12,300 gallons of super-cold liquid hydrogen fuel.
At liftoff, the Atlas V rocket generates a combined thrust of 2.7 million pounds from its main engine and five solid rocket boosters.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) planned to launch an Atlas V rocket no earlier than 10:24 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Complex 41 for the second in Viasat's satellite fleet.
Atlas V's first stage has been filled with room-temperature RP-1 propellant for the main engine during the initial phase of the launch.
A second countdown has begun for the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket to deliver the ViaSat-3 F2 ultra-high-capacity broadband satellite into space.
The countdown for ULA's Atlas V rocket launch stopped at 4 minutes due to troubleshooting an issue.
The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying the ViaSat-3 F2 mission is scrubbed due to an issue with the booster liquid oxygen tank vent valve during final checkouts.
The Launch Readiness Review for ULA's Atlas V rocket with the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 satellite is complete and approved for launch.
The Atlas V rocket, designated AV-100, is 196 feet tall and will launch the payload into a geosynchronous transfer orbit.
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket will lift off from Cape Canaveral.
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch carrying the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 mission for Viasat is planned to lift off on Wednesday, November 5.
The Atlas V rocket weighs 6 tons and includes five boosters, designed to launch the payload into an elliptical geosynchronous transfer orbit.
The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 mission for Viasat is scrubbed due to an issue encountered with the booster liquid oxygen tank vent valve.
Launch Conductor Ed Kitta has started leading his team through activities to safe the Atlas V rocket and Space Launch Complex-41 facilities.
The launch window for ULA's Atlas V rocket was scheduled to end at 11:08 p.m.
The Atlas V rocket, designated AV-100, stands 196 feet tall and generates 2.7 million pounds of thrust during liftoff.
The Atlas V rocket will weigh 1.3 million pounds when fully fueled at liftoff.
Liftoff of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the ViaSat-3 F2 spacecraft is scheduled for tonight at 10:24 p.m. EST (0324 UTC).
