British communications satellites OneWeb have successfully separated from the upper Fregat stage, Roscosmos reported.
The state-owned company said all 34 satellites were launched into target orbits.
Recall that the Soyuz-2.1b rocket launched with British satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 01:13 Moscow time. The launch of the satellites from the upper stage took 3 hours and 45 minutes. They were separated into several stages.
Note that the satellite rocket was supposed to go into space on August 20, but 40 seconds before launch the pre-launch was automatically canceled. & Nbsp;
This launch of OneWeb satellites from Baikonur became the first in 2021. A total of 288 spacecraft from the British company are in orbit.
