Viasat Selected For NASA Project
Carlsbad-based Viasat says it has been selected for a new, near-earth communications network by NASA. According to Viasat, it has been selected by NASA to support its Communications Services Project (CSP), which seeks to accelerate the development of near-Earth communications by partnering with commercial satellite communications providers. Financial terms of the deal were not announced. NASA's CSP is aimed at helping to transport data from low earth orbit (LEO) satellites back to Earth. Those satellites are constantly collecting data such as Earth and weather observations, radar measurements, scientific data, and more.
