Internet-from-space provider OneWeb says it will resume launching its satellites on the rockets of its competitor SpaceX, with the first launch expected sometime this year. The deal was struck after OneWeb\u2019s original launch provider, Russia\u2019s state space corporation Roscosmos, refused to continue launching the company\u2019s satellites unless OneWeb cowed to a list of significant demands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The British company OneWeb is currently building out a mega-constellation of 648 satellites<\/a> in low Earth orbit to provide broadband Internet coverage to customers all over the planet. It\u2019s similar to SpaceX\u2019s Starlink initiative, which aims to launch tens of thousands of satellites to also provide global broadband Internet coverage. <\/p>\n

So far, OneWeb has successfully launched 428 of its satellites, all of which were exclusively launched on Russia\u2019s Soyuz rocket, arranged through a partnership agreement with European launch provider Arianespace. OneWeb was set to launch another batch of 36 satellites on a Soyuz in the early morning hours of March 5th out of Kazakhstan. But after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, OneWeb\u2019s launch was thrown into turmoil as Roscosmos began retaliating in various ways against sanctions placed on Russia by the United Kingdom and other nations.<\/p>\n
