Mission details:

  • The second launch for the OneWeb constellation took off from Baykonur on Feb 6, 2020.
    The Fregat upper stage carried a dispenser with 34 satellites, two on a `top hat' deck K and four decks A, B, C, D with eight satellites each. The satellites were deployed in a 443 km orbit and will use their on-board propulsion to raise to 1000 km.
