Viasat suffers power anomaly on I6 F2

25 August 2023 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

For the second time this summer Viasat has seen a failure of efforts to grow its global satellite constellation. The I6-F2 satellite, launched in February by Inmarsat, “suffered a power subsystem anomaly during its orbit raising phase” and will not enter service as planned.
