OneWeb’s efforts to deploy its telecommunications network had been on hold since March when it was forced to suspend use of Russian Soyuz rockets. OneWeb, is back on track with the launch of another 36 spacecraft for its global broadband internet system. Sunday’s flight brings the number of satellites now in orbit above the Earth to 462. This is more than 70% of the total OneWeb needs to achieve worldwide coverage with its first-generation constellation. The conflict, and the resulting Western sanctions against Russia, led to the firm losing access to Russian Soyuz rockets. Will this affect Russia- India relationship ?
