MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! 🍃✔️🛰️ Adventurer Ash Dykes has successfully completed Uncharted: Suriname — a world-first expedition to travel the length of the Coppename River, Suriname, from source to sea. Ash and his team travelled 600km in 37 days through the depths of the rainforest, pulling 50kg kayaks and facing stings, bites, infections, dehydration, heat exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and starvation. Along the way, they stayed connected via our L-band #satellite connectivity and were able to post live updates to hundreds of thousands of followers around the world, in collaboration with our partner Globalsat Group. Ash also completed the journey in partnership with Free The Wild, a charity organisation working to overcome the mistreatment of wild animals. Ash said: "To Suriname and the people here who have made it so special, And finally to all of YOU for your support, I appreciate you all so much." Congratulations 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 #ConnectedbyViasat #Adventurer #Amazon #Exploration #UnchartedSuriname

Earlier today Viasat’s John Reeves joined a live World Space Week Association panel session to discuss the value of our assets in space to provide a real-time view of the world and contribute to the overall monitoring and combating of climate change. From detecting where wildfires have the potential to start to the efficiency gains of connected platforms to reduce carbon emissions in industries such as aviation and maritime — there are so many things we don’t think of when it comes to satellites and climate change, he said. However, he warned that there needs to be a policy framework and agreement in place to support the sustainable use of space. This would allow us to continue delivering benefits to the climate, connect the unconnected, enable healthcare in remote areas, ensure economic inclusivity, and more.

Happy World Space Week! 🛰️🚀 #DYK communication satellites do more than just connect people in remote areas? They also help industries operate more sustainably — like decarbonizing shipping and enabling more fuel-efficient flights. Today kicks off World Space Week, a global celebration of space’s impact on our everyday lives, with this year’s focus on Space & Climate Change. As a proud sponsor of #WSW2024, we’ll share more throughout the week on how our satellites support climate efforts, so stay tuned! First things first — don’t miss Viasat’s John Reeves in a live webinar today at 12 p.m. CEST | 6 a.m. ET on tackling climate change: https://vsat.co/4eoc2NK #worldspaceweek #worldspaceweek2024 #spaceandclimatechange World Space Week Association

Meet System Design Engineer Thomas Murphy! From interning to leading digital design for phased array systems in Tempe, AZ, Thomas has evolved through several engineering roles. "The flexibility and willingness to help me explore different areas of our system has enabled me to quickly grow in the role I have today. This would not have been possible without all the opportunities Viasat provided to me early in my career.” At Viasat, we believe the career you start with, doesn’t need to be the one you end with.

This World Environmental Health Day, we recognize that safeguarding both our planet and space is crucial to our future. Maintaining a sustainable space environment impacts all of our lives — from driving the global economy and ensuring digital inclusion to supporting scientific exploration. A safe space environment ensures we can continue using space to improve health, education, and connectivity across the globe. 💚 Discover 7 ways space sustainability impacts our world: https://bit.ly/4eec1f6 #worldenvironmentalhealthday #spacesustainability #globalimpact

Viasat's Lucy Howard-Hudgell and Mahmud Khan attended a lively Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, UK this week to discuss issues such as the new Industrial Strategy and potential of dual-use space technologies. Special thanks to ADS Group Ltd, especially Kevin Craven and Lee Bruce, who organised an excellent discussion with the UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle, and a reception that included addresses from the Secretary of State for Defence, John Healey, and Alex Baker MP, who is the local MP for our Viasat Aldershot office. #labourconference #uk #spaceindustry

At Viasat, we're pushing the boundaries of satellite communications with our advanced phased array antenna technology. Our recent DEUCSI contract win with the United States Air Force is a great example of how this tech will support seamless, resilient connectivity across both military and commercial satellite systems.

Northrop Grumman has successfully completed its first over-the-air demonstration of a hybrid SATCOM solution, providing a seamless connection with our ViaSat-3 F1 satellite in geostationary orbit and a low Earth orbit (LEO) provider. 🛰️ This technology demo for the Air Force Research Laboratory shows that hybrid capabilities can enhance communication for pilots and operators between air, space and ground, and improve mission success by making U.S. communications more resilient against threats across various orbits and frequency bands.
