ukuba nge-7 kaFebruwari isithuthi sokusungulwa kwe-Soyuz siya kuphehlelela iisathelayithi ezingama-34 zaseBritani ze-OneWeb kwi-orbit ukusuka kwi-Baikonur Cosmodrome. Kubonakala ngathi yonke into ihamba ngokwezicwangciso ezibhengeziweyo, kuba namhlanje i-Soyuz-2.1b yokuqalisa isithuthi kunye neqonga eliphezulu leFregat-M kunye neesathelayithi ezikhankanyiweyo zikhutshwe kwindibano kunye nesakhiwo sokuvavanya kwaye sifakwe kwindawo yokuqaliswa kwesayithi No. 31 yeBaikonur Cosmodrome.
Iingcali zenze umsebenzi wokufaka i-rocket kwi-launcher kunye ne-verticalization, kwaye emva koko iimasti zenkonzo zifakwe kuyo. Ngoku ukubalwa kwamashishini e-rocket yaseRashiya kunye nemboni yendawo sele iqalile ukwenza imisebenzi yokulungiselela ukuqaliswa: iimvavanyo ezizimeleyo zeenkqubo zokuhlawula umvuzo kunye neendibano, isithuthi sokuqalisa kunye nayo yonke i-complex iyenziwa.
Ukuphehlelelwa kwe-34 ye-OneWeb satellites kusacwangciselwe umhla we-7 kaFebruwari 2020 ngo-00:42:41 ixesha laseMoscow. Imizuzwana engama-562 emva kokusungulwa, inqanaba eliphezulu leFregat-M liya kwahlula kwinqanaba lesithathu. Kwaye kwiiyure ezi-3,5 ezilandelayo, iziphekepheke ziya kwahlulwa ngokulandelelanayo.
Esi ayisosiqalo sokuqala seesathelayithi ze-OneWeb - ngoFebruwari 28, 2019, iisathelayithi zokuqala ezintandathu zasungulwa kwiZiko leSithuba laseGuiana kusetyenziswa isithuthi sokuqalisa iSoyuz-ST-B. Ukuba konke kuhamba ngokwesicwangciso, ukuphehlelelwa nge-7 kaFebruwari kuya kuphawula ukuqala kokuqaliswa rhoqo ngo-2020 njengenxalenye yeNkqubo yeSithuba sabo Sonke.
Lilonke, i-OneWeb izimisele ukuhambisa iisathelayithi ezingama-548 kwi-Low-Earth orbit njengenxalenye yesigaba sokuqala, ukuqala ukusebenza kwezorhwebo kuthungelwano lwe-broadband ye-satellite yehlabathi ekupheleni kwalo nyaka. Ngo-2021, i-OneWeb ijolise ekuboneleleni ngokuzeleyo ngokujikeleza kwewotshi kwimimandla yoMhlaba ngokufikelela ngokuthe ngqo kuyo kubathengi basemhlabeni. I-orbital constellation esetyenzisiweyo iya kuba neenqwelomoya ezili-18 ezinesathelayithi ezingama-36 inye. Zonke iisathelayithi zenziwe yi-OneWeb Satellites, intsebenziswano phakathi kwe-OneWeb kunye ne-Airbus Defense and Space.
