OneWeb, a constellation of more than 600 satellites, provides broadband Internet services. For instance the high-speed, low-latency will aid researchers in Antarctica where historically they have had limited access, according to Eutelsat. Along with better reliability, OneWeb provides data-rates up to 120 megabits per second, significantly more than the 1-5 Mbps previously available to the researchers. Vandenberg also saw other OneWeb satellites travel to space on a Falcon 9 rocket for a rideshare mission in May 2023. This will be the fifth Falcon 9 launch in about a month for the SpaceX team at Vandenberg. A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff and can be viewed on www.spacex.com and on X @SpaceX (formerly Twitter). Tagged:
