United Launch Alliance successfully launched ViaSat-3 F2 using an Atlas V rocket.
ViaSat-3 F2 is the second of three ultra-high-capacity satellites for Viasat.
Boeing and Viasat have collaborated on the ViaSat-3 constellation, starting during the development of ViaSat-2.
The ViaSat-3 Flight 2 spacecraft provides broadband connectivity to users on land, at sea, or in the air.
After the launch, Viasat reported that the HaloNet solution established a persistent connection to its L-band network and transmitted flight data to the launch operations center for processing.
ViaSat-3 F2 has a weight of 6 metric tons (13,228 pounds), making it one of the heaviest single-satellite payloads.
The NG-2 mission also included a technology demonstration satellite from Viasat as a secondary payload to support NASA's Communication Services Project (CSP).
The HaloNet demonstration marked Viasat's first demonstration for NASA as part of the Communications Services Project.
ViaSat-3 F2 is part of a satellite trio and follows the first satellite which experienced an anomaly during antenna deployment in 2023.
Boeing provides the satellite bus for the ViaSat-3 constellation based on its 702MP+ platform.
The ViaSat-3 F2 satellite lifted off on November 13 at 10:04 p.m. EST.
The Atlas V 551 rocket launched the ViaSat-3 F2 ultra-high-capacity broadband spacecraft to a geosynchronous transfer orbit.
Viasat confirmed it acquired signals from the ViaSat-3 F2 satellite after its deployment.
The Atlas V rocket deployed ViaSat-3 F2 into an enhanced Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) with a higher perigee.
The launch of ViaSat-3 F2 took place after two scrubs due to a faulty booster liquid oxygen tank vent valve.
ViaSat-3 F2 will be positioned over the Americas to replace ViaSat-3 F1.
ViaSat-3 F2 is expected to enter into service in early 2026 after completing an orbit-raising process.
The launch of the Atlas V rocket for the ViaSat-3 F2 mission is planned no earlier than Thursday, November 13, 2025.
ViaSat-3 F2 successfully launched and acquired initial signals.
Viasat has a beam-forming capability allowing it to allocate beams to areas of demand.
