We investigate reliable multicast communication over satellite networks. We compare ascenario where receivers can use a feedback channel to signal loss to a scenario where nofeedback channel is available. We show that the introduction of a feedback channel is the key to allow for bandwidth-efficient, robust, and fully reliable multicast communication via satellite.
