• ULA Atlas V rocket delivered delivers the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 (F2) spacecraft with pinpoint precision to the desired geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) on Nov. 13, at 10:04 p.m. EST.
• ULA specializes in the most demanding missions, where precision, flexibility and performance are critical.
• ULA’s Atlas V and Vulcan rockets are catalysts to connecting the world, one launch at a time.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., (Nov. 14, 2025) – A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the ViaSat-3 Flight 2 (F2) mission for Viasat, Inc., a global leader in satellite communications, lifted off on Nov. 13 at 10:04 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission reflects on ULA’s goals of collaborating with customers to enable the future of global connectivity.
“At ULA, we pride ourselves in delivering our customer’s spacecraft precisely to orbit and serving as the catalyst for our customers to enable global connectivity,” said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Government and Commercial Programs. “We partner in the shared goals of connecting the world and this successful launch aligns with this core mission. Thank you Viasat for your trust in our shared visions and successful partnership.”
The Atlas V 551 rocket launched the ViaSat-3 F2 ultra-high-capacity broadband spacecraft to a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO). This spacecraft is expected to add significant capacity and flexibility to Viasat’s global, multi-orbit network that supports consumer, commercial and government customers. Designed to add 1Tbps capacity to Viasat’s global network, ViaSat-3 F2 will help address the increasing demand for secure, reliable and high-bandwidth services over the Americas.

For two decades, ULA has served as the custodian of America’s national security space mission. Our rockets fly to the most challenging and exotic orbits the nation requires, while delivering the most accurate payload insertions in the world. ULA continues to carry this unique capability forward with the new Vulcan rocket, the latest and most advanced vehicle of this type. Utilizing an innovative, modular architectural approach, Vulcan has expanded into the commercial LEO marketplace, providing efficient access to all orbits into the foreseeable future. With even more innovative technology on our horizon, the sky is definitely not the limit.
