\"Viasat\u2019s<\/p>\n

Viasat<\/strong>, a global leader in satellite communications, announced that the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 (F2) satellite is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V551 from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida in the second half of October 2025. Viasat\u2019s ultra-high-capacity constellation is designed to meet the increasing demand for resilient, global satellite communications from commercial mobility and defense customers.<\/p>\n

ViaSat-3 F2, which has been custom designed with state-of-the-art technology to maximize the efficient deployment of capacity and provide unparalleled performance for customers through leading SLAs, is anticipated to provide more bandwidth capacity than the entire existing fleet and marks a significant milestone for Viasat\u2019s multi-orbit network roadmap. The satellite is planned to come into service at an important time as demand for resilient, global satellite communications from commercial mobility and defense customers is significantly increasing. ViaSat-3 F2 will be part of a global constellation that is expected to provide substantial capacity and bandwidth economics with significant flexibility to move and concentrate capacity in the highest demand places virtually anywhere – whether it is on land, at sea or in the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of our Viasat team and partners for pushing the boundaries with these ultra-high-capacity satellites, which will deliver extensive benefits to our customers, including enhanced network efficiency, performance, user experience, coverage, capacity, flexibility and cost,\u201d said Mark Dankberg<\/strong>, Chairman and CEO, Viasat<\/strong>. \u201cThe ViaSat-3 F1 satellite is delivering outstanding performance and already enabling exceptional passenger experience for our airline customers. Our customers are excited about the addition of ViaSat-3 F2 to our global network, which we expect will significantly scale performance and number and density of users, and enable exciting new connectivity services alongside our in-flight entertainment and monetization business models. We have been a leader in innovating, delivering and integrating all these services and are confident that the combination of our existing and planned fleet with our third-party partners positions us well to serve the growing demand we are witnessing in our target markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cWe\u2019re very confident about the future and excited to be realizing this milestone towards doubling Viasat\u2019s bandwidth capacity,\u201d said Gary Chase<\/strong>, CFO, Viasat<\/strong>. \u201cSupported by our key customer relationships, strong business franchises, and momentum in attractive growing markets, we delivered both record revenues and record new contract awards in FY2025. We are laser focused on what we can achieve in FY2026 and beyond as we continue to build earnings power, reduce capital intensity, and generate sustained and growing free cash flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
