Very nice landing of the boosters.

Still a couple of burns and 5hrs until the satellite is deployed, and then some more time to raise to final deployment and deploy the panels (which is where things went wrong for F1)

ViaSat has confirmed successful deployment and initial acquisition of signal.

Still a lot of steps to get it into final orbit with full operation expected to be reached by late (northern) summer - so August 2026.
