US-based satellite company ViaSat is teaming up with Boeing to create and deliver three new satellites that will deliver high-speed internet to remote areas around the world. The partnership was announced yesterday, months before the company is scheduled to launch its previous generation satellite, ViaSat-2, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has successfully launched the world’s first all-electric satellites, which are lighter than conventional chemical-propulsion satellites and therefore cost less to launch.
