Posted: Sun, Apr 24, 2022, 8:25 AM ET (1225 GMT)
OneWeb announced Wednesday it signed an agreement to launch some of its satellites on Indian rockets. The contract with New Space India Limited, the Indian space agency ISRO's commercial arm, covers launches of an undisclosed number of satellites. The company did not disclose the number of launches, but an executive said at least one would be on the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The agreement is in addition to a deal OneWeb signed with SpaceX for launches after halting use of Soyuz rockets in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. OneWeb still has a third of its initial 648-satellite constellation to launch.
