Viasat Still Assessing ViaSat-3 Malfunction Fallout

August 11, 2023 |Satellite

Operational problems with Viasat's ViaSat-3 Americas satellite (see 2307130003) will likely affect the company's FY 2025, slowing growth, the company told analysts Wednesday. It said the next ViaSat-3 satellite scheduled for launch has the same antenna as the cause of the anomaly on ViaSat-3 Americas, and it's looking into corrective actions. CEO Mark Dankberg said the company is still assessing what capacity the satellite can provide, if any.
