An Arianespace Soyuz rocket launches the OneWeb 13 mission from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana, on Feb. 10, 2022.
"The total duration of the mission will be 3 hours and 33 minutes and will include nine satellite separations, after which the satellites will subsequently raise themselves to their operational orbit," Arianespace said in The new broadband satellites for OneWeb are meant to target sectors including aviation, maritime, backhaul, governments and emergency response services, Arianespace added.
This launch, OneWeb's 13th, is dedicated to making sure the set of satellites do not"harm this new frontier in connectivity for the generations to come, as we develop it for the benefit of everyone," OneWeb said in aOneWeb also published a set of practices they aim to follow concerning aspects of what they deem"" management, including aspects such as satellite design and orbital debris.
Recently, the International Astronomical Union launched a new center to fight what they see is a threat of. The constellations, however, also provide benefits to remote areas that have little traditional access to the Internet. With today's successful launch, OneWeb's constellation now has 428 satellites in space, and the company plans to complete the full 648-satellite constellation this year. The next batch of OneWeb satellites is currently scheduled to lift off March 5 on another Soyuz rocket, this time carrying 36 OneWeb satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
