Soyuz

Soyuz MS-22 was planned to launch in mid-September.

NASA planned to have a crew swap on the upcoming Crew Dragon and Soyuz flights despite the lack of a completed agreement and heightened tensions created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

NASA International Space Station officials required a seat barter agreement between NASA and Roscosmos to be finalized by late June in order to have Anna Kikina fly on the Crew-5 Crew Dragon mission in early September and an American astronaut, likely Frank Rubio, fly on the Soyuz MS-22 mission launching later in September.

OneWeb once planned to complete its constellation by the end of 2022 using Soyuz rockets.

Arianespace had been using Russian Soyuz rockets to launch 32–36 satellites per OneWeb mission but paused deployments in March 2022 following sanctions resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ariane 6 is designed to replace Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 and the medium-lift Soyuz rocket sourced from Russia.

The 41.5-degree inclination of Tiangong makes it very difficult for a Soyuz to launch to Tiangong from Russian territory.

OneWeb has signed launch agreements with SpaceX and India to resume satellite deployment in 2023 after plans to complete the constellation with Russian Soyuz rockets were scrapped.

Axiom Space reached an agreement on 2022-04-29 with the United Arab Emirates to fly an Emirati astronaut on a long-duration mission using a NASA-provided Soyuz seat in exchange for a Soyuz seat Axiom previously purchased from Roscosmos.

Hazza AlMansoori became the first Emirati in space when he flew on a Soyuz mission in September 2019 and spent a week in space.

Crew-5 and Soyuz MS-22 may feature a seat exchange between an American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut if an agreement is completed by June.

An American astronaut would fly on the Soyuz MS-22 mission launching later in September 2022 under the planned crew swap.

The satellite projects funded in 2022 include the CAS500-2 and KOMPSAT-6 Earth-observation satellites, each slated to launch on separate Russian Soyuz rockets in 2022.

Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space) built the dispensers OneWeb used to deploy spacecraft from Soyuz rockets.

Arianespace used the Soyuz 2.1b vehicle to deploy 34–36 OneWeb satellites per launch.

OneWeb planned to use six additional Soyuz rockets in 2022 to expand its services globally before pausing deployment on 2022-03-04 to find alternative rockets.

OneWeb had planned to achieve global coverage by August before scrapping plans to use six Russian Soyuz rockets to complete deployment.
