With this launch, OneWeb constellation is almost half way complete; Arianespace celebrates 1,000+ satellites successfully deployed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OneWeb, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, confirmed its successful launch of 34 satellites by Arianespace from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This latest successful launch brings OneWeb\u2019s total in-orbit constellation to 322 satellites, nearly half of OneWeb\u2019s entire 648 LEO satellite fleet that will deliver high-speed, low-latency global connectivity.<br \/>\nThe successful launch builds on the strategic distribution partnerships and agreements across a wide array of providers and businesses, including several earlier this month, including with AT&amp;T, Hughes Network Systems, and Peraton. These agreements, along with others struck earlier with partners including Alaska Communications, BT, and Northwestel, are aimed at bringing improved digital communication services to some of the hardest to reach parts of the world.<br \/>\nLiftoff occurred on 14 September at 7:07pm BST. OneWeb\u2019s satellites separated from the rocket and were dispensed in nine batches after 3 hours 45 minutes into the flight, with signal acquisition on all 34 satellites confirmed. With this launch, Arianespace also celebrates passing the mark of 1,000 satellites successfully launched to space.<br \/>\nOneWeb remains on track to start service this year at the 50th parallel and above with its constellation and to deliver global service in 2022. The company continues to see growing demand from telecommunications providers, ISPs, and governments worldwide to offer its low-latency, high-speed connectivity services to the hardest to reach places. OneWeb has raised USD $2.7 billion since November 2020, with no debt issuance.<br \/>\nNeil Masterson, OneWeb CEO, commented: \u201cThe team continues to stay focused on execution and delivering our network. I am enormously grateful to the team and all our partners who are making these milestones possible. We continue to see a huge and growing demand for our services from global customers, and we are incredibly excited about both introducing commercial service and scaling our global network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, image credited to OneWeb<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OneWeb confirms successful launch and contact with all 34 satellites, bringing total in-orbit constellation to 322 satellites.
