There will be a delay to the completion of OneWeb’s constellation due to the suspension of launches using Russian Soyuz launch vehicles in early March. However, OneWeb has made encouraging progress on alternative launch arrangements by securing an agreement to launch with SpaceX. Conversations are ongoing with alternative launch providers to complete launching the constellation.
