Viasat's ViaSat-3 constellation is complete as of September 17, 2026. The original plan was one satellite each for the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa and Asia-Pacific. That changed: F2, first planned for EMEA, now serves the Americas alongside F1, after the FCC cleared F2 for U.S. market access in 2026.
| Satellite | Coverage | Launched | In service |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViaSat-3 F1 | Americas | May 1, 2023 (Falcon Heavy) | In service; its reflector didn't fully deploy, so it delivers only part of its planned capacity |
| ViaSat-3 F2 | Americas | November 13, 2025 (Atlas V 551) | September 17, 2026 |
| ViaSat-3 F3 | Asia-Pacific | April 29, 2026 (Falcon Heavy) | August 2026 |

Viasat says each ViaSat-3 satellite is designed for more than one terabit per second of capacity, and that beamforming lets it move capacity to where demand is highest. For U.S. homes, coverage of the lower 48 is broad, but which Viasat plans you can order still depends on your exact address. Check Viasat availability by address, and read what ViaSat-3 F2 means for Viasat customers for plans and prices.
All three ViaSat-3 satellites are now in service. F1 (launched May 1, 2023) and F2 (launched November 13, 2025; in service September 17, 2026) cover the Americas. F3 (launched April 29, 2026; in service August 2026) covers Asia-Pacific.
