Eutelsat: Launch of the First OneWeb Satellites

Eutelsat's OneWeb constellation renewal program has reached a new milestone. The first 32 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, built by Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse, are ready for launch. These satellites mark the beginning of the deployment of 669 new satellites designed to gradually replace those whose operational lifespan is ending.

Eutelsat continues to ensure the continuity of its secure and resilient connectivity services worldwide. This initiative demonstrates the effective partnership between Eutelsat and Airbus, strengthening Europe's position in the space infrastructure sector. The upcoming launch by SpaceX will showcase European technical and industrial capabilities.
