Sky Muster II & GSAT-18

GSAT-18 is an Indian communications satellite. Built by ISRO and operated by INSAT, it carries 24 C-band, 12 extended C-band, and 12 Ku-band transponders.

Produced by SSL (Space Systems Loral) for operator NBN, Sky Muster II will help extend high-speed internet across Australia, including the country’s rural and isolated regions. As with NBN’s first Sky Muster satellite – which was launched in September 2015 on another Ariane 5 flight – Sky Muster II is a Ka-band, high-throughput broadband satellite.
