The ViaSat-3 constellation
Introducing our next-generation constellation of high-capacity satellites
ViaSat-3 is satellite reimagined
Meet ViaSat-3, a next-generation constellation of three ultra-high-capacity, Ka-band satellites expected to increase our global coverage and network capacity to bring affordable, high-quality connectivity where, when, and how it's needed most. When fully operational, the network is expected to enable billions — in homes and businesses, on planes and at sea, and in communities that were once off the grid — to connect with the people and information they need.

Capacity
See how the ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to help foster digital inclusion by sustainably serving people, communities, and businesses with high-quality, affordable bandwidth.
Near-global coverage
With just three satellites, the ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to create a seamless, global network, providing continuous coverage for nearly all of the populated world.
Dynamic bandwidth allocation
The ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to enable us to move capacity where and when it's needed most.
