Launch. Separate. Acquire signal. ✅🛰️ ViaSat-3 F3, built on our high-power 702MP+ platform, successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. #TeamBoeing mission controllers confirmed signal acquisition and are preparing the satellite for its journey to geostationary orbit. VS-3 F3 will boost Viasat's high-capacity broadband for in-flight Wi-Fi, maritime, government and rural connectivity across the Asia-Pacific region once it enters service.

Launch → signal → impact. 🚀📡👏
Boeing is in a rather precarious position. They build their own satellites, yet they have to rely on Musk's rockets to launch them. Behind this "powerful alliance" lies the sharing of risks and costs.
Congratulations 🙏🇺🇸🙂
