OneWeb, a UK-based low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, owns the satellites. According to OneWeb, all 36 satellites launched this morning have been contacted, meaning that all satellites required for global coverage have been launched. OneWeb deployed its second satellite from India in partnership with ISRO and New Space India Limited (NSIL). Last October, the first batch of deployments was completed. A total of 618 satellites have been launched as part of OneWeb’s constellation.
