Viasat moved the ViaSat-2 satellite from SpaceX to Arianespace when Falcon Heavy could not launch the satellite in 2016.
New Gulfstream G280 aircraft equipped with Viasat’s Global Aero Terminal 5510 will use the ViaSat-1, ViaSat-2, and European Ka-band satellite platforms.
ViaSat-2 was built by Boeing and launched in June 2017 and suffered an antenna deployment issue before entering service.
Viasat obtained $127,800,000 in insurance claims during the quarter and $172,200,000 in insurance claims overall related to ViaSat-2.
Viasat filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November seeking $177,400,000 for ViaSat-2’s reduced performance.
The Viasat Global Aero Terminal 5510 will utilize capacity from ViaSat-1, ViaSat-2, and European Ka-band satellite platforms.
Viasat used a U.K. business unit to order its ViaSat-2 satellite from Boeing in 2013, enabling the company to leverage financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Viasat’s Global Aero Terminal 5510 provides internet connectivity from California to the Mediterranean when communicating with ViaSat-1, ViaSat-2, and KA-SAT.

Viasat’s Mexico internet service uses bandwidth from the ViaSat-2 satellite to deliver internet connectivity with speeds up to 50 Mbps.
The Viasat broadband satellite fleet includes ViaSat-1 and Viasat-2 and is planned to expand with the ViaSat-3 constellation.
Each ViaSat-3 satellite is designed to deliver roughly three times the broadband capacity of Viasat’s ViaSat-2 satellite that launched in 2017.
Boeing’s 702MP+ is based on the flight-proven 702 vehicle design that hosts the U.S. Department of Defense’s Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) constellation and more than 40 other high-performing satellites, including ViaSat-2.
