USA Already sent as much as militory and defence satellite to space earlier. before their shuttles retired.Their use of soyus not only cost. currently USA have no carrier rockets operational. their shuttles retired. I think, this Supremesat (rebranded chinasat. which is common french made commercial satellites?? as i remember) sent to space for commercial use for China and they rent us few channels. so that sri lankan company can use it. I don't think, Australia or other such a country will use these sats for their Military use. they have better offers and access to US or European sat providers that more secure. for Ausies, cost isn't much important.they already have many satellites. the country is big and they need plenty of services like weather forecast etc..</blockquote>
