QuoteSES switches SpaceX and Arianespace launches to mitigate cost of satellite failureby Peter B. de Selding | Aug 28, 2017PARIS — Satellite fleet operator SES, which this year has suffered both predictable satellite-launch delays and unpredictable satellite failures, on Aug. 28 said it would move a satellite from launch-service provider SpaceX to Arianespace to minimize revenue losses.As a result, the SES-14 satellite will launch aboard an Ariane 5 ECA rocket early in Q1 of next year rather than a less-clear Q1 launch date offered by SpaceX. SpaceX instead will launch the heavier SES-12 satellite, up to now slated for an Ariane 5, on a Falcon 9 vehicle in Q1 2018.[...]https://www.spaceintelreport.com/ses-switches-spacex-arianespace-launches-mitigate-cost-satellite-failure/

Sky and Space Global has a contract with Danish smallsat manufacturer GomSpace to build its constellation, and with Virgin Orbit to launch “dozens” of satellites each on four LauncherOne missions. Moalem said he anticipates the first launch in the last quarter of 2018, with the majority of the constellation deployed in 2019. Completion of the full constellation is expected by 2020.
SpaceX has added a number of new missions on their manifest page (http://www.spacex.com/missions):* an Eutelsat* SXM-7 for Sirius-XM* SXM-8 for Sirius-XM* an not named satellite from SSL* a satellite for TELKOM INDONESIA (likely Telkom-4)

Then, a Falcon 9 will launch, likely from Pad 40, the Koreasat 5A communication satellite on October 14 at the very earliest.
The initial deployment of the SpaceBelt network will be powered by a dozen ~400 kilogram satellites placed into low inclination orbits. Taking full advantage of LauncherOne as a dedicated launch service for small satellites and as a uniquely flexible service enabled by air-launch, the SpaceBelt constellation will be deployed using single-manifested launches occurring in rapid sequence. The initial launch is expected to occur as early as 2019.
