ARSAT 2 is Argentina's second geostationary communications satellite. Made in Patagonia by Argentina's INVAP industrial contractor, Arsat 2's launch comes nearly one year after Arsat 1's deployment to become Argentina's first large-class telecom satellite. Equipped with transponders in Ku-band and C-band, Arsat 2 is tailored for direct-to-home television broadcasts, Internet services, data networking and telephone applications. Its mission is expected to last at least 15 years. The Argentine government chartered Arsat to secure the nation's rights to the 81 degrees west orbital slot.
