Viasat searches for new launch option for ViaSat 3 satellite.

Viasat is seeking a replacement for the Ariane 6 rocket to launch its third ViaSat 3 internet satellite, which is designed to serve the Asia-Pacific region. The first two ViaSat 3 satellites will provide internet service over the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Viasat had previously selected SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, and Arianespace to each launch one ViaSat 3 satellite, but the launch contract for the third satellite is now up for grabs. SpaceX and ULA's Vulcan rocket are the most likely contenders for the contract.
