According to foreign media reports, on Thursday local time, the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) announced that unless the British Satellite Internet operator oneweb guarantees that its satellites will not be used for military purposes, Russia will not launch more than 30 satellites on Friday (March 4) < p > < / P > < p > on Thursday morning, the Russian space agency pushed a Soyuz rocket onto the launch pad of Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan and plans to launch 36 satellites for oneweb, a London based company. But soon after, Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency, said in an online statement that if the company could not guarantee that the satellite would not be used for military purposes, the agency would not launch the satellite as planned < p > in addition, the Russian space agency also asked the British government to withdraw its investment in oneweb as another condition for its satellite launch. The British government helped oneweb get rid of the bankruptcy crisis and become the major shareholder of oneweb at the end of 2020 < p > if these requirements cannot be met by 1:30 p.m. EST on Friday, the Russian space agency will remove the soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying the satellite from the launch pad. Analysts believe that it is unlikely that these requirements will be met on Friday < p > the Russian space agency claimed that the delay "will not cause economic losses" because the rocket has been built and oneweb has paid for it. Oneweb satellite will also remain at Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan "until the situation is solved". But if the rocket is not used to launch oneweb's satellite, it will be used for another launch mission < p > Russian local media also reported that no other launch vehicle will put oneweb satellite into orbit in the near future. Oneweb has been using Russian Soyuz rockets to launch satellites over the past few years, either in French Guiana or Kazakhstan < p > oneweb plans to build a low earth orbit satellite Internet composed of 648 satellites to provide Internet coverage services from space, similar to the star chain system of SpaceX. Oneweb has been launching satellites in batches, 34 or 36 at a time. The company plans to launch several times with Soyuz rockets in 2022. So far, the company has successfully launched 428 satellites < p > Kwasi kwarteng, a member of Parliament who is the Secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy, said on twitter that these requirements would not be met. "There is no room for negotiation on oneweb: the UK government will not sell its stake in the company. We are contacting other shareholders to discuss the next step," he wrote In response to kwatenger's tweet, Rogozin said on twitter that he would give the British government two days to consider the issue < p > however, Chris McLaughlin, oneweb's head of government, regulation and participation, confirmed that oneweb's satellite will not be launched soon. "From now on, if you ask me, I can say with certainty that our launch has been suspended," he said < p > oneweb is most concerned about the safety of its employees and Arianespace employees, who are responsible for coordinating the launch with the Russian space agency. McLaughlin said these people are in Kazakhstan and they can go home now. However, the satellite remains in Baikonur, "we hope Russia can return it to us", but there is no such sign at present.
