SKY MUSTER II is a communication geostationary satellite, the second in a pair of spacecrafts ordered for the National Broadband Network, known and branded as nbn, a company backed by the Australian government to ensure every citizen of the country has access to high-speed Internet. From their positions 22,000 miles above Earth, the Sky Muster satellites will each broadcast through 101 spot beams covering all of Australia and offshore territories. Users can expect to see download speeds up to 25 megabits per second, and upload rates of up to 5 megabits per second. Once it reaches a final position in geostationary orbit over the equator at 145 degrees east longitude, Sky Muster 2 will help connect 400,000 Australian homes and businesses over its 15-year mission.
