KazSat 2 is a kazakh communications satellite, features 12 Ku-band transponders for fixed communications and 4 Ku-band transponders for TV-transmissions and is intended for telecast, fixed satellite communication and data transmission for Kazakhstan and central asia.

It was ordered in 2006 for a launch in 2009. The launch was delayed to 2011.

The satellite was originally to supplement the KazSat 1 satellite, but serves now to replace Kazsat 1 due to the complete loss of the first satellite.
