A re-usable rocket from Elon Musk's SpaceX is set to launch a satellite that will beam the internet to remote parts of the Pacific.
About the size of a double decker bus, the satellite is being made by Boeing and will be operated by the Singapore-based company Kacific Broadband Satellites.
Its vice-president of special projects, Adrian Potter, told Ben Robinson Drawbridge the satellite will reach parts of the Pacific that undersea cables can't.
