On March 22, oneweb, a British Satellite Internet operator, announced on Monday that after the Russian Space Agency refused to launch its 36 satellites, the company had signed a cooperation agreement with rival SpaceX to send its remaining satellites into low earth orbit (LEO) < p > Neil Masterson, CEO of oneweb, said in a statement: "we thank SpaceX for its support, which also reflects our common vision of the unlimited potential of space. With the implementation of these launch plans, we are completing the construction of the whole satellite Internet step by step and will provide strong, fast and secure network access services around the world." < p > oneweb is building a space Internet composed of 648 broadband satellites. At present, 428 satellites have been launched into orbit. Oneweb did not announce the specific details of its cooperation with SpaceX, including how many rockets it purchased from SpaceX, what kind of rockets it will use to launch, and when it plans to complete all satellite deployments. However, Masterson's statement indicates that SpaceX may use the Falcon 9 rocket to put the remaining 220 satellites into orbit < p > Falcon 9 is SpaceX's most active launch vehicle, with a cost of about $62 million per launch. In an interview, Ruth Pritchard Kelly, senior adviser on regulatory affairs of oneweb, said that in addition to reaching an agreement with SpaceX, oneweb is still negotiating with other launch service providers. He also revealed that the launch of SpaceX's first oneweb satellite "will take place this summer, but we have not set a specific date" < p > since 2019, oneweb has been using Russia's Soyuz rocket to launch its satellite. But in February this year, three days before the Soyuz rocket carrying 36 oneweb satellites was allowed to lift off from the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan, the Russian space agency asked oneweb to ensure that its satellite would not be used for military purposes and asked the UK to withdraw capital from the London based company. At the end of 2020, the UK government injected capital to help oneweb get rid of the bankruptcy crisis. Because these requirements were not met, the Soyuz rocket carrying the satellite was removed from the launch pad shortly before the planned launch < p > to this end, oneweb cancelled all six planned Soyuz launches and gave up its goal of completing the deployment of all satellites by August. However, neither Britain nor EU countries have available launch vehicles that can put satellites into orbit. Oneweb executives said at the time that the company was considering launching satellites in the United States, India and Japan < p > oneweb's move is somewhat unexpected, because SpaceX is currently oneweb's main competitor in providing high-speed Internet services to ground users from orbit, but the dispute with the Russian space agency finally prompted it to cooperate with SpaceX, which will allow oneweb to complete the construction of its satellite Internet under the new timetable < p > Chris McLaughlin, head of oneweb's government, regulation and participation department, explained that the company and SpaceX were not real competitors. SpaceX focuses more on serving individual customers, while oneweb focuses on promoting its services to government agencies. "We think SpaceX is a broad-based consumer Internet provider, and they do a good job in this regard. We are a smaller group of government agencies and corporate services, and the services of both sides are very different," he said < p > in addition, oneweb representatives said they did not know the final fate of the 36 satellites carried on the Soyuz rocket. Pritchard Kelly said of the satellites: "they have been removed from the rocket. I don't know if they are still in Kazakhstan." Oneweb is negotiating with Arianespace, the French rocket company that brokered oneweb's cooperation with Russia, on the retrieval of the satellite, and may get a refund for canceling the launch of Soyuz < p > Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency, said on twitter on Monday that oneweb was "doomed to failure". He reiterated his previous statement that not using the Soyuz launch would put the company back into bankruptcy. He hinted that SpaceX could not successfully deploy oneweb's satellite, but did not explain why the company lacked this capability < p > oneweb's Internet business is mainly active in some parts of the northern hemisphere, but the company will not be able to achieve its goal of providing global coverage services in August 2022. SpaceX's satellite chain Internet relies on thousands of satellites at lower altitudes and has provided pilot services to a large number of consumers. If the plan goes well, the scale of the star chain will become larger and larger. SpaceX has been approved to launch 12000 satellite chain satellites and has applied for another 30000 satellites.
