OneWeb readies crucial launch as Superloop exec joins for Asia-Pacific market
Satellite company OneWeb is a week away from being able to launch its services commercially in the northern part of the world.
The company plans to launch 36 more satellites on 1 July, marking the end of its first phase — and allowing it to begin services between 50° north and the Arctic.
It is “our most important launch to date”, said the company — and, if successful, it will give OneWeb 254 satellites in orbit.
“This launch will allow us to provide complete connectivity coverage north of 50° latitude by the end of the 2021, connecting previously unconnected locations and providing high speed services across the UK, Alaska, Northern Europe, Greenland, Iceland, the Arctic Seas, and Canada.”….
OneWeb has not confirmed the date when commercial services will start in areas of the world north of 50°. That line of latitude goes through — or almost goes through — cities including Vancouver, Lille, Brussels, Prague, Kraków, Kharkiv and Sakhalin. Everywhere north, including all of the UK, will be in the service area.
Next week’s launch, which will be the last from Russia’s Vostochny cosmodrome, close to the Chinese border. It is due to take place at 12:48 UTC.
OneWeb has further launches booked from Baikonur, in a Russian enclave in Kazakhstan, and from French Guiana in South America.

Soyuz mission launches 34 OneWeb satellites to orbit
Arianespace and Starsem have launched 34 more internet communication satellites of the OneWeb constellation to a low Earth orbit (LEO). The launch occurred at 18:07:19 UTC (14:07:19 EDT) on Tuesday, September 14 from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat rocket.
OneWeb satellites 289 to 322 will be deployed into an initial 450 km orbit with an inclination of 84.7 degrees and will bring the total number of OneWebs in orbit to nearly 50% of the initial 648 satellite constellation.….

OneWeb: UK rejects Russian demand to sell share in satellite firm
The UK has rejected Russian demands for it to sell its share in internet firm OneWeb to allow a satellite launch.
A Soyuz rocket carrying 36 OneWeb satellites is on the launch pad at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Russia's space agency Roscomos demanded guarantees the spacecraft would not be used for military purposes.
It then said it would not launch the rocket unless the UK sold its share in OneWeb - but business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng rejected this.
"There's no negotiation on OneWeb: the UK government is not selling its share,"….

After Fallout With Russia, SpaceX Rival Launches 36 Satellites Aboard India's Big Rocket
British company OneWeb has resumed its plans of building an internet constellation in low Earth orbit despite suffering a frustrating setback earlier this year.
After having to cancel its launches aboard Russia’s Soyuz rocket, the British company launched 36 of its internet satellites on Saturday using India’s heaviest rocket. The Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) GSLV Mark III rocket took off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in India at 2:37 p.m. ET. The launch marked the first commercial payload for the 143-foot-tall (43.5 meter) rocket, according to India’s Economic Times.
All 36 satellites are operational, bringing OneWeb’s total number of satellites to 462 out of its planned 648 satellite fleet, OneWeb announced on Sunday. The company is hoping to complete the full constellation by mid-2023. “[Saturday’s] launch is a significant milestone for OneWeb,”
Sunil Bharti Mittal, executive chairman of OneWeb, said in a statement. “This new phase of our launch program from India brings us a step closer to not only enhancing our global coverage but also delivering connectivity in India and South Asia, particularly to the communities who need it most.”
OneWeb had to halt the launch of its internet satellites in March after terminating its contract with Russia’s space agency Roscosmos. The company had been using Russia’s Soyuz rocket to launch its satellites, but that relationship quickly deteriorated following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In retaliation against the Western sanctions imposed against Russia,
Roscosmos refused to launch OneWeb’s satellites unless the company agreed to a list of demands. OneWeb declined, prompting Russia to hold on the company’s 36 satellites and keep them at a storage facility in Baiknour, Kazakhstan.
As a result, OneWeb was left scrambling to find alternative rides to low Earth orbit. The company signed contracts with its internet constellation rival SpaceX, as well as India’s space agency ISRO, for the six remaining launches required for its first generation satellites…….
