VSAT - Viasat to support NASA's communications services project

Viasat (NASDAQ:VSAT) has been selected to support NASA's Communications Services Project (CSP). The space agency seeks to accelerate the development of near-Earth communications by partnering with commercial satellite communications providers. Viasat will support the project by delivering real-time, near-Earth communications. It is currently developing a space relay capability that will leverage its upcoming ViaSat-3 global satellite constellation with a newly developed terminal to facilitate on-demand and cost-effective communications services for LEO (low earth orbit) spacecraft. The space-qualified Ka-band terminal will give LEO operators access to the ViaSat-3 network for data transfer.
