ViaSat-1 Launched Successfully

ViaSat-1 is the satellite that will be part of the new LiveTV internet solution that is due in service at some point in 2012. It launched today from a base in Kazakhstan and everything appears to be operating successfully. Now that it is in flight they can get the transceiver part working and then get it on a plane or two. Good stuff.
