The source, while pointing out that a GSLV-Mk3 can put into orbit many more OneWeb-class of satellites (roughly around 30) in one launch compared to the PSLV (roughly around 6-7), said: “...But the exact number of OneWeb satellites the first Mk-3 mission will carry will be firmed up at a later stage.”
Nice to see the GSLV being used to launch multiple satellites, I was wondering when that was going to take place Pardon the naivete, but these will all be launched in a geo-synchronous orbit, right? I think it will be a milestone of sorts, being a first.
Thanks, so the weight/mass of these 30 odd satellites will require a GSLV. And into a higher polar orbit than what the PSLV launches into.

A OneWeb spokesperson told ET the company's "launch schedule was impacted by the Ukraine crisis", but the company plans to "use Indian (satellite) launchers in 2022 itself to serve the country's market at the earliest".
Does anyone know how ISRO managed to get two extra GSLVs for OneWeb on such short notice? Were they able to manufacture them, or did some other launch(es) have to be delayed because of OneWeb?

Come this October India will put one more of its rockets — the medium-lift Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV MkIII) — into the commercial launch market. Sometime during the third week of October 2022, the ISRO rocket will fly with 36 satellites of OneWeb, an Indo-UK joint venture satellite communications company, said an space sector official.
I've seen the highest launch azimuth for the PSLV is 140°. On polar launches, it flies a dogleg trajectory.Is this also to be expected for the GSLV-III with OneWeb?
Exciting news from India as we confirm the encapsulation of our 36 satellites ahead of #OneWebLaunch14. The satellites have now travelled to be attached to the LVM3 rocket ahead of launch later this month.Thanks again to our team, as well as @isro, @NSIL_India and @Arianespace!
LVM3 - M2/OneWeb India-1 Mission: Launch scheduled at 0007 hrs. IST on October 23, 2022. Cryo stage, equipment bay (EB) assembly completed. Satellites are encapsulated and assembled in the vehicle. Final vehicle checks are in progress.
Hello everyone! I have got 2 questions : 1) how much is the payload for next Sunday one web satellites launch ? Is it something like 2 or 3 tonnes ? Or is it more ?
I thought these satellites are going to be launched in a near earth orbit, not a polar orbit. 🤨
Launch time confirmed 🚀#OneWebLaunch14 with @ISRO is set to take place this weekend.Lift-off is scheduled for 00:07 (IST), 23 October. That's 19:37 (BST) and 14:37 (ET), 22 October.You can follow the launch live on our website, or across our YouTube and LinkedIn channels.
"Polar" just means a high inclination. The OneWeb orbits are polar. They are also relatively low altitude: that what "near earth orbit" means.
What is the height of the orbit of the OneWeb satellites? Sorry, I missed it, if it was mentioned earlier. Added: okay I found out it is 1200km.
Tomorrow an Indian GSLV-Mk III rocket will launch 36 satellites of the #OneWeb constellation from the Satish Dhawan Space Center.

What's LVM3?Is ISRO renaming rockets like they are renaming remote sensing satellite into EOS naming convention?
Here's the much-awaited integration #video of the heaviest #rocket designed & built in #India - GSLV Mk3/LVM3This beast will be launched tomo 00:07 in its maiden commercial mission & orbiting 36 satellites of @OneWeb This'll mark foray of #isro into global medium-lift market🚀
Quote from: XRZ.YZ on 10/22/2022 04:00 amWhat's LVM3?Is ISRO renaming rockets like they are renaming remote sensing satellite into EOS naming convention?LVM3 is an alternate name for GSLV Mk.III. Its been in use since the beginning of the program.
Today’s the day! #OneWebLaunch14 is set to take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India in just over seven hours’ time 🚀Watch the launch live on our LinkedIn page or YouTube channel, with further updates here on our Twitter feed post-launch.
We’re now under six hours from lift-off, so there’s no better time to reflect on Launch #14’s mission patch.This patch reflects Indian culture, its ethos, and its spirit of winning. We are proud to be building universal connections from Indian soil.#OneWebLaunch14 🚀
A huge thanks to the teams at @ISRO and @NSIL_India for a successful lift off!We will continue to provide updates as our 36 satellites begin to separate and start their life in space.#OneWebLaunch14 🚀
OneWeb pays about ₹2,000 crore (USD 242.3 milllion) to NewSpace India Ltd. (NSIL) for launching 72 satellites.
And the payloads are separating.
Eight more OneWeb satellites have deployed from their Swedish-made Beyond Gravity dispenser on the Indian GSLV Mk.3 rocket.Sixteen satellites have now separated, with 20 more to go. The next payload deployments will occur outside of radio visibility.
A bit of wait before the next 20 sats are separated. But @isro chairman Somanath and @NSIL_India seem upbeat. More details a bit later.
The first 16 OneWeb satellites have separated!That’s another 20 to go 🛰️#OneWebLaunch14 🚀

Launch time to the second?
CelesTrak has ephemeris-based SupGP data for all 36 #OneWeb satellites on the launch (2022-138) of a GSLV-MkIII rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Oct 22 at 1837 UTC:
OneWeb / Launches / Press releases 23 Oct 202236 OneWeb satellites successfully launched by ISRO/ NSIL from SriharikotaAll 36 satellites are operational, bringing OneWeb’s total Gen 1 LEO constellation to 462 satellites. Launch 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota, India marks the first dedicated commercial launch for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) using the LVM3 rocket. With this successful launch, the LVM3 has become a catalyst for the Indian Space Programme, opening new vistas for heavy payloads to the LEO.Sriharikota, India, 23 October 2022 – OneWeb today confirmed the successful deployment of 36 satellites launched by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC- SHAR) in Sriharikota, India. This launch by ISRO and NSIL is one of the biggest commercial orders by India’s premier space organization, and the first using the LVM3 rocket.The lift-off took place on Sunday, 23rd October 2022 at 00.07hrs local time. OneWeb’s satellites separated successfully from the rocket and were dispensed in nine phases over a period of 1 hour and 15 minutes, with signal acquisition on all 36 satellites confirmed.This is OneWeb’s 14th launch, bringing the constellation to 462 satellites. This launch represents more than 70% of its planned 648 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite fleet that will deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity worldwide. With only four more launches to go, OneWeb remains on track to activate global coverage in 2023, while its connectivity solutions are already live in regions north of 50-degrees latitude.This partnership with NSIL and ISRO demonstrates OneWeb’s commitment to provide connectivity across the length and breadth of India by 2023. From Ladakh to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, OneWeb will bring secured solutions not only to enterprises but also to towns, villages, municipalities and schools, including the hardest-to-reach areas across the country. OneWeb’s commitment to enhance connectivity in India is backed by Bharti Global, its largest investor. The LVM3 launch vehicle realised with complete indigenised technology had four consecutive successful missions, which includes the critical Chandrayaan-2 mission. The vehicle underwent several critical tests as a part of human rating for the Gaganyaan programme. The cryo stage was uniquely designed to orient and re-orient in orthogonal direction to meet the customer requirements of injecting satellites precisely and with a gap to avoid collision. The vehicle was realised in a short span of time on a demand-driven basis to meet the user’s timeline.Shri. Somanath S, Secretary, Department of Space and Chairman, ISRO, said: “Today’s event is very historic to the country and the Indian Space Programme. This is the first ever commercial launch of LVM3 with a heaviest payload to LEO. The LVM3 was conceived primarily for launching geo-stationary satellites with a payload capacity of 4T, which can be used for launching 6T payloads for LEO. “The mission is very critical to meet the customer’s expectations to launch 36 satellites in 9 phases with precision. The mission was designed in such a way, that C25 stage was to handle this operation using in-house built inertial navigation systems. The injection of the satellites was so precise to the expectation of the customer. NSIL, the commercial arm of ISRO, entered into this contract and executed the same in a record time. “This will pave way for more launches in the future. The interaction with OneWeb was so seamless, right from the receipt of the satellites until injection. ISRO and OneWeb teams worked like a family. I compliment all the ISRO centres and Indian industries for the commendable job and congratulate NSIL and OneWeb for the successful launch of LVM3 M2 / OneWeb India-1 mission.”Sunil Bharti Mittal, Executive Chairman of OneWeb, said: “Today’s launch is a significant milestone for OneWeb. This new phase of our launch programme from India brings us a step closer to not only enhancing our global coverage but also delivering connectivity in India and South Asia, particularly to the communities who need it most.“I am proud to be here in Sriharikota, with our partners, ISRO and NSIL. Today my dream of having an Indian element in the OneWeb constellation has been realized. This launch with ISRO and NSIL opens up the space sector in India with the possibility of billions of dollars flowing into the country.“I would like to laud our Hon’ble Prime Minister for his visionary leadership in opening up the space sector for private participation. I also extend my gratitude to ISRO, NSIL and the Indian authorities for matching the precise schedule for this launch, which has been done in a record time.”Radhakrishnan D, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, NewSpace India Limited, added: “The successful launch of 36 OneWeb satellites via the GSLV-MkIII from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a historic moment for NSIL and ISRO. We worked closely with the OneWeb team to support this milestone launch, which has been accomplished in a record time of a few months, while also illustrating the opportunities for satellite connectivity in India. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with OneWeb and utilising the potential that LEO connectivity has to deliver broadband services across India.”Neil Masterson, Chief Executive of OneWeb, commented: “I am delighted that we have been able to resume OneWeb’s launch programme. This launch was made possible thanks to the hard work by our team and our partners at ISRO and NSIL, as well as shareholder Bharti Global. The spirit of collaboration exemplified by this international effort is at the core of our strategy to scale up our global coverage network. At OneWeb, we remain laser-focused on removing barriers to connectivity, ensuring that we deliver for communities and customers globally.”Over the coming months, OneWeb will continue its focus on the launch programme and will also work with key distribution partners and customers to roll out connectivity solutions where its services are live. OneWeb will advance innovative strategic partnerships with leading companies in the communications sector, and sign agreements in the coming months to support the rollout of its coverage solutions.
any high res. launch pics. pls.?
Fantastic news as we are delighted to report we have made contact with all 36 satellites from #OneWebLaunch14! 🚀This means we now have over 70% of our LEO satellite fleet in orbit.
