Soyuz

Arianespace conducted the Soyuz launch that delivered 36 OneWeb satellites from Russia.

OneWeb has an agreement with Arianespace for eight more Soyuz launches before the end of 2022 to deploy the remaining satellites in its constellation.

OneWeb is deploying its initial satellite constellation using Soyuz rockets under a contract with Arianespace.

Earlier in 2021 NASA acquired a Soyuz seat through Axiom Space to fly astronaut Mark Vande Hei.

The next Soyuz crew rotation mission launching in spring 2022 will carry three Russian cosmonauts.

NASA had no plans to acquire a seat on the spring 2022 Soyuz rotation mission.

OneWeb’s next 36 satellites are slated to launch 2021-10-14 aboard a Soyuz rocket lifting off from Russia’s Vostochny Cosmodrome.

Hiber launched a fourth satellite as a secondary payload on a Soyuz-2 launch in March 2021.

A Soyuz spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station on 2021-10-05 carrying a cosmonaut and two spaceflight participants who will film scenes for a Russian movie.

Synspective and Exolaunch have a launch agreement to launch Synspective’s third demonstration SAR satellite StriX-1 on a Soyuz-2 launch vehicle in mid-2022.

A classified Russian military satellite designed with a new miniature reconnaissance camera was launched on a single-core Soyuz 2-1v rocket.

The satellite's orbital parameters are similar to those of an experimental Earth-imaging satellite launched on a Soyuz 2-1v in 2018.

Synspective and Exolaunch have a launch agreement for Synspective’s third demonstration SAR satellite StriX-1 to launch on a Soyuz-2 launch vehicle in mid-2022.

Soyuz MS-20 will be commanded by Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin and will spend 12 days at the International Space Station.

On 2021-09-14, 34 OneWeb internet satellites were separated from a Soyuz launch vehicle and placed into orbit using a dispenser from RUAG Space.

Arianespace plans to perform nine more Soyuz launches for OneWeb to deploy the remaining satellites in the constellation before the end of 2022.

NASA used Axiom Space to acquire the Soyuz seat for Mark Vande Hei, with Axiom buying the seat from Roscosmos and transferring it to NASA in exchange for a seat on a future commercial crew mission.

Arianespace launched 34 OneWeb satellites on a Soyuz rocket on 2021-09-14 at 2:07 p.m. Eastern from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
