The OneWeb constellation is made up of more than 600 satellites operating from some 745 miles above the planet.
OneWeb is designed to deliver high-speed broadband connectivity with low latency while operating in low-Earth orbit.
“We are delighted to see the successful launch and deployment of new OneWeb satellites,” said Eva Berneke, CEO of Eutelsat Group. “These satellites will strengthen our network services, improving overall performance for our customers.

“As we celebrate the anniversary of the merger with Eutelsat and OneWeb, we are excited by the growing demand for our multi-orbit services, and we remain committed to delivering value for our customers and shareholders.”
The satellites were built by Airbus U.S. Space & Defense in Merritt Island, Florida.
This was the 34th Falcon 9 rocket launch of 2024 from the West Coast and occurred days after a Starlink launch from Vandenberg. It also marked the 100th of the year for SpaceX.
“Congrats to the @SpaceX team for completing launch #100 and also launching 6 rockets…in 7 days!!! Fair to say it was a good week,” said SpaceX’s Kiko Dontchev.
In addition to the OneWeb and Starlink launches from Vandenberg, the week included two other Starlink missions and NASA’s Europa Clipper delivery, all from Florida, plus a Starship from Texas.
