Bharti-backed OneWeb successfully deployed 40 satellites launched by SpaceX, US.
This marks OneWeb’s 16th launch so far.
The company only needs two more launches to complete its first-generation constellation.
With the launch, OneWeb has a total of 542 operation satellites in orbit.
It is more than 83 per cent of the total 648 satellites planned by the company.
Once its satellite network is fully deployed, OneWeb plans to provide low-latency high-speed satellite internet services using constellations of low-Earth satellites, exactly like Starlink.
