Viasat’s HaloNet: Building the Bridge to a More Connected Orbit

By Payload: In today’s rapidly proliferating orbital environment, spacecraft are only as capable as their ability to stay connected. Traditional communications architectures—built around scheduled ground passes and line-of-sight links—can’t keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern missions.Viasat’s HaloNet hybrid terminal aims to change that by unifying multiple communications pathways into one adaptive system, designed to keep satellites in constant contact—from launch, through orbit.
