ViaSat-3 approximately four hours and thirty two minutes after liftoff, the satellite separated from the launch vehicle. First signals from the satellite were acquired approximately 15 minutes later through a ground station in South Korea. In the coming days, ViaSat-3 will deploy its solar arrays and drift to its final orbital location. Viasat expects it will take less than three weeks for ViaSat-3 to reach its final orbital destination, located at 88.9\u00b0 west longitude.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Dankberg, Viasat\u2019s chairman and CEO commented, \u201cToday\u2019s successful launch of ViaSat-3 Americas&nbsp;opens a new chapter in Viasat\u2019s growth. This first Americas satellite will multiply our available bandwidth, and enable faster speeds and more coverage &#8211; especially for our mobility customers. It\u2019s not just a new satellite, it\u2019s a new way to build broadband satellites. Thanks so much to all our people, and our partners, for their commitment and dedication to getting this done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ViaSat-3 class of Ka-band satellites are capable of delivering over 1 Terabit per second (Tbps) of throughput capacity each, with dynamic flexibility to move and concentrate that capacity where it\u2019s most needed &#8211; whether it\u2019s on land, in the ocean or in the air. The first two satellites are planned to focus on the Americas and on EMEA, respectively, and the ViaSat-3 EMEA satellite is now in environmental testing in Boeing\u2019s El Segundo, California factory. The third ViaSat-3 satellite has completed final payload integration and testing at Viasat\u2019s Tempe, Arizona facility and will focus on the Asia Pacific region, completing Viasat\u2019s global service coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click Here to Learn More About Viasat-3 Americas Constellation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YFbp6PVbJQA?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viasat Inc., a global communications company announced the successful launch of ViaSat-3 Americas aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
