@OneWeb team in Toulouse working very late on the “person portable” new user terminal! … and SUCCESS!! It is on the OneWeb network operating very well.. now @val64970448 let’s complete production
Another milestone toward global connectivity, as we confirm that OneWeb has ordered 10,000 low Earth orbit user terminals from @HughesConnects.This purchase will enable OneWeb connectivity services for government and enterprise customers.Find out more:https://www.hughes.com/resources/press-releases/oneweb-acquires-10000-hughes-leo-terminals-enable-low-latency-broadband
Roskosmos and Arianespace are discussing a potential deal to return a #Soyuz rocket stuck in French Guiana in exchange for Western satellites held by Russia. FULL STORY: https://www.russianspaceweb.com/soyuz_lv_2023.html
WorldVu Satellites Limited (“OneWeb”), pursuant to 25.118(f) of the Federal Communications Commission’s (the “Commission”), hereby submits this fleet management notification regarding the OneWeb non-geostationary orbit (“NGSO”) system, advising the Commission that some spacecraft will be repositioned within their assigned orbital planes.Consistent with the flexibility the Commission grants NGSO operators to manage fleet operations, and notwithstanding OneWeb’s prior statements regarding its plans to maintain even spacing among its active satellites, OneWeb intends to operate active satellites that are not evenly spaced. OneWeb herein notifies the Commission of its intent to reposition some of its satellites—in groups of two to three satellites—within their assigned orbital planes at intervals that are less than the 7.35° spacing described in the OneWeb market access application. At no time will the minimum separation between any two spacecraft be less than 1.3°.

Remote communications provider Galaxy Broadband said Feb. 1 it is buying capacity from OneWeb for $50 million in a multi-year deal to offer low Earth orbit broadband services to more sites across Canada.The agreement enables Galaxy to expand into the northern territory of Nunavut — a sparsely populated region of northern Canada about three times larger than Texas — where it plans to connect 25 communities before the end of this year.

Higher bandwidth, cheaper pricing, better coverage?On the face of it I can’t see how it competes, but that might just be due to my ignorance.
Hard to know as Oneweb haven't published any pricing - their sales model is also different in that they deliver through a disty network and not direct to the end user. I suspect they will be higher latency than Starlink but who knows.Tell you one thing - As a Starlink user I will give Oneweb a shout as soon as they are live. For me the Starlink model just doesn't fit right and their customer service is simply non existent. Makes it very hard to continue service.Quote from: M.E.T. on 02/03/2023 04:00 amQuote from: su27k on 02/03/2023 03:14 amOneWeb secures $50 million Canadian satellite capacity dealQuote from: SpaceNewsRemote communications provider Galaxy Broadband said Feb. 1 it is buying capacity from OneWeb for $50 million in a multi-year deal to offer low Earth orbit broadband services to more sites across Canada.The agreement enables Galaxy to expand into the northern territory of Nunavut — a sparsely populated region of northern Canada about three times larger than Texas — where it plans to connect 25 communities before the end of this year.Is someone able to explain to me what this product offers that Starlink cannot?

In-space propulsion specialist Busek revealed its role in helping OneWeb recover from the sudden loss of Fakel satellite thrusters after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.Natick, Massachusetts-based Busek announced Feb. 6 the successful on-orbit commissioning of its BHT-350 Hall-effect thrusters on 80 OneWeb satellites launched in December and January on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. The new OneWeb communications satellites rely on Busek thrusters for orbit-raising, station-keeping, collision avoidance and de-orbit at the conclusion of each satellite’s mission.“We have been going gangbusters since our phone started ringing in late February,” Peter Hruby, Busek vice president, told SpaceNews.

If the Nunavut population is 40,000, its residential broadband may not be a large market. But picture a magic quadrant mix of backhaul, backbone, broadband, and maybe some wholesale capacity. Add in some mining, marine, distribution, etc and some gradual scada app development. They all add up but not every SATCOM contract is published.
Exciting news as the first Hawk u8-OneWeb LEO terminals roll off the production line. These are the first in our batch of LEO enabled flat panel terminals being produced as part of our agreement with @OneWeb Thanks to all teams who made this possible. #MakeTheFutureNow
