OneWeb Has Big Enough Constellation for Global Coverage

Sunday's launch of 36 satellites by NewSpace India from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, gives OneWeb more than enough satellites in orbit to have global coverage, the company said. The launch was OneWeb's 18th and gives it a constellation of 618. It said by year's end it will be ready to roll out global coverage, including increased connectivity in areas north of 50 degrees latitude, plus new areas online.
