ViaSat-3 F2 Launch Delayed
Viasat's new satellite, the second in its planned fleet expansion, has experienced a 24-hour delay. The spacecraft, named ViaSat-3 F2, was intended to lift off late on November 5 from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41, using a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
“We will not continue with countdown operations,” announced ULA Launch Director James Whelan.
The launch attempt was scrubbed after engineers found an issue with the booster’s liquid oxygen tank vent valve during final checks. A new launch window is now scheduled for November 6 at 10:16 p.m. EST, opening a 44-minute period for takeoff.
Once launched, the Atlas V rocket will spend approximately three and a half hours reaching its geostationary transfer orbit. The satellite will then undergo several tests before being moved to its designated orbital position.
