On May 1, 2023, VisSat achieved a successful launch of ViaSat-3 Americas aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This satellite marks the first of three new ViaSat-3 satellites.

The complete constellation of these high-capacity Ka-band satellites will enhance network coverage and capacity in North America and certain parts of South America, providing high-quality and affordable connectivity to underserved regions.

The ViaSat-3 series of Ka-band satellites showcases remarkable capabilities, offering an individual throughput capacity of more than 1 Terabit per second (Tbps). With dynamic flexibility, these satellites can efficiently allocate and concentrate their capacity precisely where it is needed, be it on land, in the ocean, or in the air.

Each ViaSat-3 satellite is expected to deliver an impressive 1 Terabit of throughput data per second (1Tbps).

VisSat-3 stands among the most powerful satellites in space, featuring the largest antenna ever deployed on a communications satellite, functioning as a massive amplifier. The comprehensive costs for each ViaSat-3, including launch, insurance, and ground equipment, amount to approximately $700 million.

Through the implementation of the ViaSat-3 constellation, VisSat aims to surpass other space-based internet service providers by achieving superior bandwidth efficiency. This system's increased productivity will meet growing demand, drive innovation, and create opportunities for VisSat to better serve its North American customers with expanded coverage and an improved experience. Furthermore, it will enable the company to explore new markets within consumer, commercial, aviation, and maritime sectors.

Launch plans for the subsequent satellites covering Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Asia/Pacific (APAC) are currently under development and testing. While specific launch dates have not been confirmed, the successful deployment of the first satellite, which has already been launched and completed orbital maneuvers, will significantly enhance internet access in those regions.
