Podczas tej misji na orbitę wyniesiony zostanie trzeci satelita geostacjonarny ViaSat-3. Mają one wspólnie zapewniać dostęp do Internetu na całym świecie, nowy satelita obejmie swoim zasięgiem region Azji i Pacyfiku. Każdy z satelitów ma przepustowość ponad jednego terabita na sekundę. Pojazd został zbudowany przez firmę Boeing na bazie platformy satelitarnej BSS-702MP+ z napędem elektrycznym.
Boczne boostery rakiety Falcon 9 mają wylądować na platformach Landing Zone 2 i Landing Zone 40 na Cape Canaveral.

https://spacex.com.pl/misja/viasat-3-f3Konstelacja ViaSat-3 składa się z trzech satelitów, z których każdy ma zapewniać zasięg w określonym regionie świata: ViaSat-3 F1 obejmie Amerykę;
ViaSat-3 F2 obejmie Europę, Bliski Wschód i Afrykę (EMEA);
ViaSat-3 F3 obejmie regiony Azji i Pacyfiku (APAC).
Ze względu na trudności techniczne związane z F1, które znacznie obniżyły jego przepustowość, po wystrzeleniu F2 obejmie on Amerykę, a F1 zostanie przeniesiony do regionu EMEA.

https://www.viasat.com/perspectives/corporate/2026/viasat-3-satellite-journey-from-factory-to-space/SpaceX is targeting Monday, April 27 for a Falcon Heavy launch of the ViaSat-3 F3 mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 85-minute launch window opens at 10:21 a.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available Tuesday, April 28 during an 85-minute window that opens at 10:17 a.m. ET.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the X TV app.
One of the side boosters on this mission previously supported SDA-0A, SARah-2, Transporter-11, and 18 Starlink missions, and the second previously supported launch of the GOES-U mission. Following stage separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 2 and 40 (LZ-2 and LZ-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Boeing Delivers ViaSat-3 Flight 3 Spacecraft to Viasat
- Third satellite built on Boeing’s 702MP+ platform will provide connectivity across the Asia-Pacific region
- The satellite arrived in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida today, where Boeing and Viasat teams are preparing it for an upcoming SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch
CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION, Fla. Apr. 7, 2026 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] announced today, delivery of the ViaSat-3 Flight 3 (VS-3 F3) spacecraft to Viasat. Built on Boeing’s high-power 702MP+ platform and integrated at Boeing’s El Segundo facility in California, VS-3 F3 will provide the Asia-Pacific region with state-of-the-art technology to maximize efficient, flexible bandwidth deployment and enhanced performance for commercial mobility and defense customers, among others, in high-density markets across the region.
“ViaSat-3 F3 reflects the strength of Boeing’s 702 family and our long-standing partnership with Viasat,” said Ryan Reid, president of Boeing Satellite Systems International. “With this delivery, we’re providing a high-power, flexible platform designed to support Viasat’s next-generation connectivity mission which is proving more valuable every single day. We are thankful for their partnership and trust.”
Following final spacecraft integration, testing and verification at Boeing’s El Segundo, California factory, Boeing officially delivered the satellite to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida where Boeing and Viasat teams will support pre-launch processing and mission preparations ahead of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch. The delivery marks Boeing’s latest major milestone on the ViaSat-3 program and the completion of Boeing’s spacecraft production and integration work for VS‑3 F3.
“The delivery of ViaSat-3 F3 marks an important milestone for the program and for the customers who will rely on it for resilient, secure, flexible and high-performance connectivity across the APAC region,” said Dave Abrahamian, vice president of Space Systems, Viasat. “Throughout the ViaSat-3 program, Boeing’s platform performance and mission operations have been essential to achieving these goals for our business and our customers.”
Built on Boeing’s flight-proven 702 family, the 702MP+ platform was developed to support larger, more power-intensive payloads while preserving the reliability and flexibility customers expect from Boeing spacecraft. For ViaSat-3, Boeing scaled the platform to accommodate larger solar arrays, higher-capacity batteries, upgraded supporting electronics and large deployable radiators to manage the thermal demands of a high-power mission.
The platform also incorporates all-electric propulsion, building on Boeing’s earlier 702SP heritage while extending that efficiency into the larger 702MP class. To support ViaSat-3’s payload and reflector configuration, Boeing enhanced structural elements and attitude-control performance so the spacecraft can maintain precise pointing despite the size and flexibility of the system.
With VS-3 F1 already providing commercial airline connectivity and VS-3 F2 currently advancing towards entering service over the Americas, VS-3 F3 will extend the constellation’s coverage to the AsiaPacific, enabling expanded connectivity options for customers across the region.
Boeing and Viasat will jointly support launch operations in Florida, continuing the collaboration that brought this satellite from design and integration to delivery.

Over at LC-39A, the strongback has picked up the reaction frame, which is a good sign SpaceX is preparing to move the Transporter-Erector to the hangar for integration with Falcon Heavy! Launch continues to be targeted for April 27th at 14:21 UTC.

The reaction frame is the lower part of the T-E, and most notable contains the holddown clamps. During a launch, it gets disconnected from the strongback to allow it to throw back at T-0. In order to reconnect these parts, the strongback needs to raise and lower.
