ARSAT-3 is a geostationary communications satellite ordered by ARSAT and being designed by the Argentine company INVAP.[4] ARSAT-3 is expected to be launched on from French Guiana on an Ariane 5ECA rocket.[5] It is expected to be located at 81° West longitude geostationary slot.[6] ARSAT-3 will be the third geostationary satellite built in INVAP, after ARSAT-1 and ARSAT-2. The ARSAT-3 will introduce an enhanced bus platform that will enable enhanced services.[1][7]
ARSAT-3 will be a multi-spot Ka band bent-pipe design that will offer Internet access at cable costs.[6][7]
