ST-2 is a communications satellite developed by Mitsubishi Electric and launched on May 20, 2011. The satellite was deployed via an Ariane 5 ECA vehicle from ESA's Guiana Space Centre during a dual mission alongside GSAT-8.
Constructed using the DS2000 platform, ST-2 replaces the earlier ST-1 satellite. Positioned in geostationary orbit at 88° East longitude, it is operated by ST-2 Satellite Ventures, a collaboration between Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) and Chunghwa Telecom. The satellite delivers communication relay capabilities throughout the Middle East, Central Asia, India, and Southeast Asia, catering to vital markets within these territories.
