For its Oneweb customer, Arianespace should also launch
one of its Soyuz in Baikonur.
Oneweb today announced USD 500 million in funding from its investors to
take forward its mission.
Britain's Oneweb company has sent 34 satellites into orbit by
a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur port in Kazakhstan.

and this funding helps ensure our globally shared dream will soon become a reality.
SpaceX also has consumer broadband as the main focus for
its Starlink constellation of up to 12,000 satellites, as does Oneweb with its constellation of 650 to 2,000 satellites.
Oneweb plans to put 2,000 satellites in orbit- News of
June 6, 2019- The satellites used by Oneweb are a little lighter than those of SpaceX, they weigh 150 kg.
Competing satellite internet firm Oneweb and satellite operator Kepler Communications both filed against the plan,
claiming that Starlink could cause signal interference at the lower elevation and potentially even pose a collision risk.
Oneweb, a global communications company with a mission to bring connectivity to everyone,
everywhere, announces it has secured its largest fundraising round to date with the successful raise of $1.25 billion in new capital.
