OneWeb's total satellite fleet now numbers 428 in orbit, representing 66 percent of its planned 600-satellite LEO fleet that will provide low-latency, high-speed global connectivity. From the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, the new satellites were launched on Thursday by an Arianespace Soyuz rocket.
