Small satellites
Small satellites offer relatively inexpensive space access
While Viasat’s fleet consists primarily of large, high-capacity satellites in geosynchronous orbit, the company does also create some small “cube sat” spacecraft to operate in low earth orbit (LEO). One of these LEO satellites is the XVI Link 16 for military communications, and Viasat has mission experience with other small, low earth orbiting satellites as well.
