Launch Roundup (week of Nov 11, 2025): New Glenn, Viasat and Sentinel‑6B highlight busy schedule amid recent scrubs

This week's launch calendar is unusually congested, led by New Glenn, Viasat's ViaSat‑3 mission and Sentinel‑6B — three high‑profile flights that were reshuffled after recent scrubs. The packed slate underscores operational pressure on providers and the cascading impacts slips have on launch cadence and payload manifests.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Schedule shifts to Blue Origin's New Glenn have regulatory and capacity implications for heavy‑lift access and manifest planning; see the recent Blue Origin delay amid an FAA order.
Viasat's ViaSat‑3 flight is a major commercial capacity milestone — intended to add >1 Tbps and significantly expand network bandwidth — so its timing affects service rollouts and revenue forecasts; see the ViaSat-3 Flight‑2 schedule update.
Repeated scrubs and slip-induced rescheduling ripple across customers and competitors, a dynamic highlighted when Amazon compressed Project Kuiper launches as New Glenn slipped; see Kuiper's back‑to‑back launch scheduling.
