Viasat announced the scheduled launch of ViaSat-3 F2 in October 2025, expected to more than double the company's bandwidth capacity. The satellite's dynamic beam forming capabilities will deliver benefits to customers in high-demand areas, with service entry anticipated in early 2026. Viasat's ultra-high-capacity constellation aims to meet increasing demand for resilient, global satellite communications from commercial mobility and defense customers.

Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a leading provider of satellite communications, has scheduled the launch of its ViaSat-3 Flight 2 (F2) satellite for October 2025. The satellite, set to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V551 from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, is expected to more than double the company's current bandwidth capacity [1].

ViaSat-3 F2 has been designed with state-of-the-art technology to maximize efficiency and provide unparalleled performance. The satellite is anticipated to offer more bandwidth than the entire existing fleet, marking a significant milestone in Viasat's multi-orbit network roadmap. Its dynamic beam forming capabilities will enable it to deliver benefits to customers in high-demand areas, with service entry anticipated in early 2026.

The launch of ViaSat-3 F2 comes at a crucial time as demand for resilient, global satellite communications from commercial mobility and defense customers is significantly increasing. The satellite will be part of a global constellation that aims to provide substantial capacity and bandwidth economics with flexibility to move and concentrate capacity in high-demand areas, whether on land, at sea, or in the air [1].

Viasat's Chairman and CEO, Mark Dankberg, expressed pride in the company's team and partners for pushing technological boundaries with these ultra-high-capacity satellites. He noted that the addition of ViaSat-3 F2 to the global network is expected to significantly scale performance and the number and density of users, enabling exciting new connectivity services alongside in-flight entertainment and monetization business models [1].

Gary Chase, CFO of Viasat, highlighted the company's confidence in the future, stating that the launch of ViaSat-3 F2 is a significant step towards doubling the company's bandwidth capacity. Supported by key customer relationships, strong business franchises, and momentum in attractive growing markets, Viasat delivered record revenues and new contract awards in FY2025. The company is focused on building earnings power, reducing capital intensity, and generating sustained and growing free cash flow in FY2026 and beyond [1].

The precise launch date and time for ViaSat-3 F2 will be provided closer to the event in conjunction with ULA.
