Critical Blow for Viasat as Pivotal New Communications Satellite Fails to Deploy in Orbit—
ViaSat-3 launched on board a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in April to deliver broadband connectivity to customers in North and South America. The malfunctioning satellite is the first of a constellation of three communication satellites, with the remaining two designed to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
Viasat is looking into contingency plans to help the company recover from the satellite anomaly, including possibly reallocating one of its upcoming ViaSat-3 satellites to provide additional bandwidth to the Americas. “The initial service priority for ViaSat-3 Americas has been to facilitate growth in the company’s North American fixed broadband business,” Viasat wrote in its statement.
Viasat will share more information regarding its satellite during an upcoming earnings call on August 9.
