November 17, 2025

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 (F2) mission for Viasat, Inc., a global leader in satellite communications, lifted off on Nov. 13 at 10:04 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission reflects on ULA’s goals of collaborating with customers to enable the future of global connectivity.   

“At ULA, we pride ourselves in delivering our customer’s spacecraft precisely to orbit and serving as the catalyst for our customers to enable global connectivity,” said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Government and Commercial Programs. “We partner in the shared goals of connecting the world and this successful launch aligns with this core mission. Thank you Viasat for your trust in our shared visions and successful partnership.” 

The Atlas V 551 rocket launched the ViaSat-3 F2 ultra-high-capacity broadband spacecraft to a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO). This spacecraft is expected to add significant capacity and flexibility to Viasat’s global, multi-orbit network that supports consumer, commercial and government customers. Designed to add 1Tbps capacity to Viasat’s global network, ViaSat-3 F2 will help address the increasing demand for secure, reliable and high-bandwidth services over the Americas.
