            Re:     Administrative Update to ViaSat, Inc. Letter of Intent to Operate a Ka—band
                    Satellite at the Nominal 115° W.L. Orbital Location; Call Sign $2747; IB File
                    Nos. SAT—LOI—20080107—00006, SAT—AMD—20080623—00131, SAT—AMD—

     Dear Ms. Dortch:

            ViaSat, Inc. ("ViaSat") files this administrative update in connection with the above—
     referenced Letter of Intent application, as amended, to inform the Commission of a new officer
     of ViaSat and of developments relating to the construction of the VIASAT—IOM satellite.

             To supplement the ownership information provided in the amended Letter of Intent filing,
     ViaSat adds to the list of Officers and Senior Management, Thomas E. Moore, Senior Vice
     President. Mr. Moore can be reached c/o ViaSat, Inc., 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA
     92009.

             As ViaSat indicated in the amendment to the Letter of Intent filed on June 23, 2008,
     ViaSat has entered into a contract with Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("SS/L") for the construction
     of the VIASAT—IOM satellite.‘ Critical design review ("CDR") pursuant to that contract was
     completed on January 30, 2009. ViaSat thus already has satisfied the first two milestones that
     the Commission applies to GSO spacecraft.

             Additionally, ViaSat has procured launch services for the VIASAT—IOM satellite from
     International Launch Services. The satellite is scheduled to be launched from the Baikonur
     Space Center in early 2011.
