Viasat ViaSat-3 satellite constellation deployment

Overview

Viasat Inc. reported first-quarter revenue of approximately $1.2 billion, with its Defense and Advanced Technologies segment seeing a 4% growth driven by record contract awards. During this period, the company noted that its ViaSat-3 F3 satellite was expected to begin service in the Asia-Pacific region by late August or early September 2026.

By the end of August 2026, Viasat officially placed the ViaSat-3 F3 satellite into service over the Asia-Pacific region. The deployment adds 1 terabit per second of capacity to the company’s network, targeting aviation, maritime, and government sectors. This move follows the April launch of the F3 via a SpaceX Falcon Heavy mission and aims to address connectivity challenges in the region while competing with other satellite service providers.
