Signal acquisition on all 40 satellites has been confirmed.<\/p>\n This launch is OneWeb\u2019s seventeenth to date, and\u00a0<\/span>the penultimate mission to complete OneWeb’s first-generation (Gen 1) LEO satellite constellation\u00a0and enable global coverage in 2023. With 582 satellites now in orbit, OneWeb will complete its global footprint of the Gen 1 constellation with a launch scheduled for later this month with ISRO\/NSIL.<\/span><\/p>\n Today\u2019s launch enables OneWeb to continue expanding its connectivity capabilities as it grows its fleet of satellites and seeks to initiate services for more partners around the world. OneWeb already has connectivity solutions active today in key geographies across the globe and is bringing new areas online by partnering with leading providers including VEON, Orange, Galaxy Broadband, Paratus, Telespazio, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n OneWeb and its partners are relentlessly focused on the mission to bridge the digital divide and provide internet connectivity to a greater number of unconnected and underserved rural and remote communities and businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n Neil Masterson, Chief Executive Officer of OneWeb, commented:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cToday\u2019s launch is an exciting milestone as we are now just one mission away from completing our Gen 1 constellation, which will activate global service in 2023. Now more than ever, OneWeb is dedicated to continuing the momentum we have garnered from the past 17 successful launches, to innovate alongside our trusted partners and deliver connectivity solutions at scale. Each launch is a group effort, and today\u2019s success would not have been possible without the dedication of the entire launch team and our partners here in Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n
