The first six spacecraft produced by the OneWeb Satellites joint venture of OneWeb and Airbus were successfully deployed into a circular low Earth orbit of approximately 1,000 km (altitude) and 87,77 deg. inclination on Arianespace’s first Soyuz mission of 2019 (and the launch services company’s second mission overall this year).

D-Orbit, an Italian service provider for the New Space sector, signed a contract with Planet, a US-based private Earth imaging company, for the launch and deployment of six Dove-series satellites.
