ULA Atlas V launches ViaSat‑3 Flight 2, sending Viasat’s highest‑capacity satellite to orbit to double network capacity
United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V 551 lifted off from Cape Canaveral late Thursday carrying Viasat’s ViaSat‑3 Flight 2 — the operator’s highest‑capacity geostationary satellite — after an earlier scrub for a liquid‑oxygen vent‑valve issue. The mission will put the satellite on its way to orbit and double Viasat’s network capacity.
