Dankberg also revealed that he is not ruling out any contingency options, including the option to use an upcoming Viasat-4 satellite to serve as a gap-filler in a fleet re-shuffle. “On ViaSat-4, there are some significant improvements there that we could use as the foundation for a replacement satellite.

Dankberg did, however, warn that Viasat-3’s loss could impact the operator’s ability to handle services beyond its current backlog if it does not act quickly. “We can handle our current backlog, at least for some period of time.
