United Launch Alliance won a launch contract to launch one of Viasat’s ViaSat-3 satellites.
The Atlas V 551 will cut orbit-raising time for the ViaSat-3 satellite by at least half, enabling the satellite to reach the geostationary arc about 36,0 m up in three months or less.
Viasat moved the ViaSat-2 satellite from SpaceX to Arianespace when Falcon Heavy could not launch the satellite in 2016.
ULA will use the Atlas V 551 variant, equipped with a 5-meter payload fairing and five strap-on boosters, to lift the ViaSat-3 satellite.
Viasat procured two ViaSat-3 satellites from Boeing, the first for the Americas and the second for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The Viasat ViaSat-3 mission will launch aboard an Atlas V 551 configuration vehicle.
The Viasat ViaSat-3 mission is scheduled to launch in the 2020–2022 timeframe from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The ULA contract with Viasat is the first commercial contract ULA directly signed since assuming responsibility for marketing and sales of the Atlas V launch vehicle from Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services earlier in 2018.
ViaSat-3 is a class of Ka-band satellites designed to provide increased service speed and flexibility for a satellite platform.
The Atlas V 551 configuration provides the performance to deliver a ViaSat-3 satellite into a high-energy geostationary transfer orbit where the satellite can begin on-orbit operations faster than with other available launch vehicles.
The first two ViaSat-3 satellites will focus on the Americas and on Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), respectively, and the third ViaSat-3 satellite is planned for the APAC region to complete Viasat’s global service coverage.
The United States Defense Information Systems Agency awarded Viasat Inc. an eight-year firm-fixed-price contract to provide in-flight broadband and connectivity services to U.S. Government Senior Leader and VIP aircraft.
The base year plus seven 12-month option periods of the DISA contract with Viasat have a total cumulative value of $559,800,000.
Starting in September 2018, Viasat will begin working with local Nevada-based installers to deploy satellite-based Wi-Fi hotspots at parks across Nevada.
Viasat will leverage its ViaSat-1 and ViaSat-2 satellite systems together with its Wi-Fi services platform to deliver a comprehensive hotspot solution to Nevada State Parks.
Viasat will provide the Nevada State Parks Department with a satellite-enabled Wi-Fi hotspot platform to deliver park connectivity statewide.
The first ViaSat-3 payload module structure, built by Boeing, arrived at Viasat’s Tempe, Arizona facility on or before 2018-08-30.
Boeing is building a second ViaSat-3 payload module structure to support Viasat’s global satellite broadband ambitions.
The ViaSat-3 class consists of Ka-band satellites designed to provide increased service speed and operational flexibility compared with previous satellite platforms.
Viasat will receive $122,500,000 in U.S. federal subsidies through the Connect America Fund.
