Mike Crawford -- B. Riley Securities -- Analyst
Excellent. Great. That's kind of what I thought. And then just switching gears, with the Cluster failure on this Anik F2 satellite that powers some of your Northwest U.S. residential subscribers. I understand that satellite is going to move to an inclined orbit and rather end sooner than expected end of life. So what's the risk to your U.S. subscribers on that satellite, there's going to be avoidance service, particularly since we don't appear to have an official launch date or window for ViaSat-3.
Although, you do say that you hope to have that launched by the end of December.
Mark Dankberg -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. I mean, Anik F2 has been a good satellite for us for longer than it's expected life. But just to put things in perspective, it's well under 1% of our satellite capacity so that we've been able to constantly make improvements. We've been -- we constantly make improvements on the existing satellites that sort of make up for the variance in bandwidth, but in the cases of individual customers who have terminals that aimed in that satellite, what we'll do is.
We'll provide an upgrade path for those customers if we need to move them to a different satellite.
