BREVARD COUNTY • CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying the ViaSat-3 F2 mission for Viasat is now planned for no earlier than Thursday, Nov. 13.

To ensure compliance with the recent FAA order regarding launch times, the launch is scheduled for 10:04 p.m. EST at the opening of a 44-minute window, from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

Following the scrub last week due to a faulty booster liquid oxygen tank vent valve, the team at the Cape removed and replaced it with a new valve in preparation for this launch attempt.

Once in service, ViaSat-3 Flight 2 is expected to more than double the bandwidth capacity of Viasat’s entire existing satellite fleet.
