An unexpected event occurred during reflector deployment, the company said, adding that it had started a review.
The ViaSat-3 Americas, designed to provide broadband connectivity in the Americas region, was launched onboard SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket on April 30.
Viasat in May acquired British satellite rival Inmarsat for $7.3 billion, and the merged entity has at least 19 satellites in space.
Other Viasat and Inmarsat satellites were not affected, according to Viasat.
The company said it will share additional information on the status of the ViaSat-3 Americas satellite and contingency plans during its earnings call on Aug. 9.
