This will be the 18th launch for OneWeb, which will complete its first internet constellation around Earth. The launch vehicle will be moved to the launch pad for Sunday launch. It will be one of the first satellites from India in the last year.
OneWeb is one step away from completing its constellation of over 600 low earth orbit satellites. The company has launched internet from space services in countries located above 50 degrees north latitude. This last launch with ISRO/NSIL will mark over 600 satellites in space.
The first batch of 36 OneWeb satellites was launched from Sriharikota on October 23 last year. OneWeb is one step away from completing its constellation of over 600 low earth orbit satellites. This last launch with ISRO/NSIL will mark over 600 satellites in space, which is the number needed to go commercially live.
The satellites will complete the network of Gen-1 constellation by the UK-based company to provide broadband services. The rocket will lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota to deploy the probes.
OneWeb is building an LEO satellite internet service that will rival SpaceX’s Starlink. The satellites separated from the rocket and were dispensed into three separation groups over a period of 40 minutes.
OneWeb's 17th satellite launch is set to take place later this month with ISRO/NSIL. OneWeb has connectivity solutions active in key geographies across the world.
SpaceX launches 40 mini satellites bound for polar orbit. They will expand OneWeb’s constellation to just over 500, nearly 80% of the planned total of about 630 satellites. SpaceX agreed to launch satellites for OneWeb after the company broke ties with Russia in March. Amazon plans to launch the first of its internet satellites early next year.
SpaceX launched internet satellites for a competitor on December 8, stepping in to help after the London-based OneWeb company halted its flights with Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. The Falcon rocket blasted off at sunset with 40 mini satellites bound for polar orbit. Amazon plans to launch the first of its internet satellites early next year from Cape Canaveral.

Elon Musk's has more than 3,200 Starlink satellites in orbit, providing high-speed, broadband internet to remote corners of the world.
Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully launched 40 satellites for competing communications company OneWeb. The launch occurred just several miles from the same pad where Apollo astronauts blasted off for the moon, the last time on 7 December 1972. The next two dedicated launches with SpaceX are planned through the spring of next year, in addition to another launch with ISRO.
SpaceX successfully launched 40 satellites for competing communications company OneWeb on Thursday. It's the first of three planned missions the unlikely collaborators are set to perform over the coming months despite their separate efforts to build megaconstellations that will beam broadband Internet coverage to Earth. OneWeb had originally contracted to launch all of the company’s satellites on Russian Soyuz rockets.

The Falcon rocket blasted off at sunset with 40 mini satellites bound for polar orbit. They will expand OneWeb's constellation to just over 500, nearly 80 per cent of the planned total of about 630 satellites.
SpaceX is scheduled to launch 40 new satellites for OneWeb, which seeks to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink broadband constellation. The company is based in London and owned in part by the UK government. OneWeb says it plans to be able to deliver global coverage in 2023. The launch will put 80% of its planned 648 satellites operating at once.

SpaceX will launch a big batch of internet satellites for the communications company OneWeb on Thursday (Dec. 8) A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 40 OneWeb satellites is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:27 p.m. EST (2227 GMT) It will be the fourth launch and landing for this particular booster.
GSLV MkIII - renamed for this mission as LVM3 M2 - successfully placed 36 satellites of oneWeb into orbit. The 43.5 metre tall and weighing 644 ton rocket blasted off from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 12.07 a.m.
