SAN DIEGO — Carlsbad, California's Viasat said Tuesday that it expects to begin launching its next-generation broadband Internet satellite constellation early next year — marking another delay in getting the terabyte-class satellites into orbit.
This pushback in timing is minor. It's being driven by other missions that are lining up for the same launch facility, according to the company.
The first of three ViaSat-3 satellites has completed testing and is ready to ship to the unidentified launch site in December, said Chief Executive Mark Dankberg.
