ARSAT-2 is a geostationary communications satellite operated by ARSAT and built by the Argentine company INVAP.[6] It was launched from French Guiana alongside Sky Muster satellite using an Ariane 5ECA rocket on September 30, 2015 at 20:30hs UTC, becoming the 400th satellite to be launched by Arianespace.[7][8] It is licensed to be located at 81° West longitude geostationary slot.[9][10] ARSAT-2 is the second geostationary satellite built in Argentina, after ARSAT-1. Structurally and mechanically it is a copy of the ARSAT-1, the only difference being the payload and thus it has different antenna configuration.[11][2]
