The mission, dubbed Viasat-3 Flight 2, is a collaboration with Viasat, a renowned global technology firm. The launch window is set between 10:04 p.m. and 10:48 p.m. on Thursday, as confirmed by ULA.

Originally slated for Wednesday, November 5, the liftoff was initially postponed by a day and subsequently rescheduled to this week.
