AngoSat 2 is an Angolan geostationary Communications satellite[3][4] that is designed to provide telecommunications and broadcasting services to Angola and the surrounding regions.[5] It is the successor to the AngoSat 1 satellite, which was launched in 2017 but experienced technical difficulties and was declared dead and a total loss.[6] AngoSat-2 was developed to replace AngoSat-1 and to enhance Angola's communication infrastructure.
