Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on March 2, 2022, 11:11 AMThis is a serious matter as Russia refuses to launch OneWeb satellites.
- Russian space agency Roscosmos is refusing to launch the next batch of 36 OneWeb internet satellites unless the company meets the state agency’s demands.
- OneWeb’s mission was scheduled to liftoff on a Russian-built Soyuz rocket on March 4 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
- Roscosmos is demanding the U.K. government sells its stake in OneWeb and the company guarantee that the satellites will not be used for military purposes, with the British government having sanctioned Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine.
