ViaSat-3 F2 launched to space on Nov. 13, 2025 atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. In the first few months after that, the telecommunications satellite made its way to geostationary orbit, which lies exactly 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above Earth. In an image shared by the company Viasat on social media, you can see the striking results of this maneuver in space.

that reflector looks absolutely massive. the timing with Earth lining up in the background makes the scale feel even crazier somehow. space engineering never stops looking surreal when you see moments like this.
