MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st September, 2020) UK communications company OneWeb plans to use 19 Russian Soyuz carrier rockets for deploying its satellite constellation, which is two rockers less than previously planned, according to a fresh statement.
The contract, which OneWeb and Arianespace signed in 2015, envisioned 21 Soyuz launches from the Baikonur, Vostochny and� Kourou spaceports.
Three launches have been conducted so far.
"The amended agreement with Arianespace provides for 16 launches placing another 34-36 satellites per launch into OneWeb's growing constellation," OneWeb said in statement.
This means, the number of planned Soyuz launches has been cut from 21 to 19.
Thirty-six OneWeb satellites are expected to be launched from Russia's Vostochny spaceport in December. The rest of the launches should be conducted by the end of 2022.
