On September 30, 2015 at 20:30 UTC the “Ariane-5ECA” rocket-carrier was launched from Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana. The rocket orbited the Australian “Sky Muster” and the Argentine “ARSAT-2” satellites. Sky Muster is the first of two huge communications satellites ordered by NBN Co., an enterprise established by the Australian government to set up a nationwide broadband system to ensure every Australian home and business is connected by 2020. The “Arsat-2” satellite is Argentina’s second geostationary communications satellite. Attachments: |
