Also, she said that the following launch will also be ON FALCON 9 and not with ISRO. And the launch window for this second flight with @SpaceX opens in January.So, the next two OneWeb Launches will be both with SpaceX on Falcon 9.
A Falcon 9 will launch a batch of OneWeb internet satellites from pad 40 on January TBD.

OneWeb's network will deliver high-speed, low-latency global connectivity.OneWeb CEO Neil Masterson said: “We thank SpaceX for their support, which reflects our shared vision for the boundless potential of space. With these launch plans in place, we’re on track to finish building out our full fleet of satellites and deliver robust, fast, secure connectivity around the globe.”Demand for OneWeb’s broadband connectivity services has continued to grow across telecommunications providers, aviation and maritime markets, and governments worldwide. OneWeb has activated service with its network at the 50th parallel and above, and early partners are initiating service.Terms of the agreement with SpaceX are confidential.

This would confirm that SpaceX will launch the OneWeb satellites from Florida into a polar orbit. It is not yet known how many satellites could travel on each mission.https://twitter.com/Free_Space/status/1508914042789842954

This tweet gives us finally some information on the number of OneWeb satellites per launch and the number of launches:Quote from: Peter B de Selding tweet.@Eutelsat_SA @OneWeb combination 2: 3 @SpaceX launches (equivalent to 4 Soyuz OneWeb launches) & 2 Indian GSLV missions will complete Gen 1 deployment between Sept and March. OneWeb chairman Sunil Bharti thanked US & Indian govts for their influence in securing these launches. [July 26]3 @SpaceX launches (equivalent to 4 Soyuz OneWeb launches): As one Soyuz could carry 36 sats, the equivalent of 4 Soyuz launches spread over 3 Falcon launches means that there are 48 OneWeb sats on each Falcon launch.

UPDATE: OneWeb to launch 40 satellites with SpaceX to enable continued expansion of connectivity services across the US, southern Europe, Australia, Middle East and more**MEDIA ADVISORY***What: OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, will launch 40 satellites with SpaceX no earlier than Sunday, 8 January 2023, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This launch will be OneWeb’s sixteenth to date and its second with SpaceX following a successful launch in December, keeping the company on track to deliver global coverage in 2023.Why:This launch will add another 40 satellites to OneWeb’s LEO satellite fleet, over 80% of its first-generation constellation that will deliver global wholesale connectivity for its partners. This milestone mission marks OneWeb’s second time launching from Florida, where its satellites are also produced by OneWeb Satellites – a joint venture between OneWeb and Airbus. The launch will enable the company to continue expanding services around the world as it grows its fleet and seeks to initiate services for more partners across the US, southern Europe, Australia and more. OneWeb’s connectivity solutions are already active in Alaska, Canada, the UK, Greenland and wider Arctic area, providing internet connectivity to unserved and underserved rural and remote communities and businesses.When:The launch is scheduled to take place no earlier than 8 January 2023 at 11:55 p.m. ET / 9 January 2023 at 4:55am UTC.Where:The vehicle will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.How to watch:Livestream available on SpaceX website and social media channels.
What's the total launch mass?
All systems and weather are looking good this weekend for our second launch for @OneWeb
Should also be the final flight for B1076 before conversion for EchoStar XXIV
Quote from: SpaceFinnOriginal on 01/06/2023 03:25 pmWhat's the total launch mass?Each satellite weighs 147.5 kg, so that is 5,900 kg in total.
launch of the OneWeb Launch 16 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 11:55 p.m. ET (04:55 UTC on January 9), and a backup opportunity is available on Monday, January 9 at 11:50 p.m. ET (04:50 UTC on January 10).The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-26 Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.
Doug departed Port Canaveral yesterday evening and is zooming south towards Cuba to recover the fairing for the next OneWeb mission.Booster will land at LZ-1.
To complete pre-launch processing, now targeting Monday, January 9 at 11:50 p.m. ET for launch of the @OneWeb Launch 16 mission from SLC-40. Vehicle and spacecraft are healthy, and weather is >90% favorable for liftoff

Falcon 9 at sunset ahead of tonight's 11:50 p.m. ET launch of 40 OneWeb satellites to orbit. B1076 will return to land at LZ-1 at the Cape about eight minutes after liftoff.
Launch #16 – and its mission patch - marks our first launch of 2023, and the first of three launches planned for the early months of this year, which will take us to full global connectivity.Remember to tune into the livestream in less than six hours' time!#OneWebLaunch16 🚀
Who’s ready for another Falcon 9 launch and landing?SpaceX is set to launch another set of OneWeb satellites. After stage separation, Falcon 9 B1076 will flip around and perform a landing back at the Cape.Overview: nasaspaceflight.com/2023/01/oneweb…Watch live: youtu.be/FvQYm1xLpOg
