  5. Viasat-3 is a constellation of 3 geostationary Ka-band communications satellites, that will provide broadband connectivity to customers around the Globe.
    Unlike LEO satellite constellations like Starlink, just 3 GEO satellites can cover the Earth, although latency is higher. These satellites are fairly large at 6,400 kg and draw over 30 kw of power each. The payload is built by Viasat, the rest of the spacecraft is built by Boeing.

  8. 80% probability of violation of #weather constraints for #FalconHeavy launch from NASA KSC Pad 39A today (according to @SLDelta45 Weather Squadron.) In other words, 20% chance to go today. #ViaSat3 #NewSpace #SpaceX
