"In 2021, the Russian side plans to carry out 10 launches with Soyuz-2 and Soyuz-ST carrier rockets in the interests of foreign customers," Saveliev said.
According to the deputy general director of the state corporation, four of them will pass from the Baikonur cosmodrome and three each from Vostochny and Kuru (French Guiana). At the same time, the launch of the apparatus of the European global satellite navigation system Galileo is expected from the Kuru cosmodrome.
In the second quarter of 2021, the launch of the Earth remote sensing spacecraft CAS500-1 is planned from Baikonur in the interests of the Republic of Korea with a group of 34 foreign and Russian spacecraft launched as an associated payload.

Three 36 OneWeb satellite cluster launches from Vostochny--a match between the two PRs.

Four launches from Baikonur: the CAS500-1 rideshare flight, and three 34 OneWeb satellite cluster launches.

Apparently, the CAS500-2 rideshare flight is delayed into 2022?

Arianespace announced the date of the next launch of OneWeb satellites from Baikonur.

Head of Arianespace Israel: next launch of OneWeb satellites from Baikonur is scheduled for September 14.

10:34 22.08.2021 (updated: 10:41 22.08.2021)

MOSCOW, 22 Aug - RIA Novosti. The next launch of the British communications satellites OneWeb by the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome is scheduled for September 14, said Stefan Israel, executive director of the launch operator, Arianespace.

In June, a RIA Novosti source reported that the launch was scheduled for September 9th.

"We will be back on September 14th for our next OneWeb launch," Israel tweeted .

Earlier, the press service of the Glavkosmos company (a Roscosmos enterprise) told RIA Novosti that in 2021, eight to ten Soyuz rocket launches with OneWeb satellites are planned from the Baikonur, Vostochny and Kuru cosmodromes , of which five have already been completed. According to sources in the rocket and space industry, another launch in the interests of OneWeb from Vostochny is scheduled for October, two launches are also expected from Baikonur in September and December, and one launch from Kuru in December.

The contract between Arianespace and OneWeb for 21 launches of Soyuz rockets from the Baikonur, Vostochny and Kuru cosmodromes was signed in June 2015. In September 2020, OneWeb announced that the number of contracted Soyuz launches has been reduced to 19. Nine have already been completed: three from Baikonur, five from Vostochny and one from Kuru, 288 satellites have been launched into orbit.

OneWeb is set to begin providing commercial satellite communications services in late 2021, and by June 2022, it intends to deploy a constellation of 648 first-generation satellites, which will provide broadband Internet access to users around the world with full coverage of the Earth's surface .
