Soyuz

Harald McPike paid a $7,000,000 initial deposit to Space Adventures for a $150,000,000 seat on a Soyuz circumlunar mission.

Constellation Services International proposed circumlunar missions using Soyuz spacecraft in 2004 but disbanded without making progress.

NASA was in discussions with Roscosmos in February 2019 to purchase two Soyuz seats that Roscosmos was not planning to use for fall 2019 and spring 2020 flights to the station.

Andrew Morgan is scheduled to launch on a Soyuz mission on 2019-07-20.

Nick Hague and Alexey Ovchinin were assigned in December 2018 to the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft that launched in March 2019 with Christina Koch, replacing Oleg Skripochka and Hazza Al Mansouri.

Arianespace plans to phase out Soyuz in the coming years as Europe’s Ariane 6 and Vega C launchers debut in 2020.

Arianespace completed SES’s first-generation O3b constellation on 2019-04-04 with a Soyuz launch of four satellites.

NASA has approached Roscosmos about adjusting the schedule and crews of upcoming Soyuz missions to allow for potential longer stays for its astronauts.

Arianespace has launched the full O3b constellation since 2013 using Soyuz rockets that carry four satellites per mission.

The extended mission aims to serve as a crew rotation mission as NASA's access to Soyuz seats diminishes.

NASA plans to purchase two additional Soyuz seats from Roscosmos to ensure uninterrupted access to the ISS in case of delays in U.S. commercial crew launches.

OneWeb launched the first six satellites of a planned 648-satellite constellation on 2019-02-27 on an Arianespace-operated Soyuz rocket.

Arianespace will use a Soyuz rocket on 2019-04-04 to launch four O3b satellites for SES, expanding the medium Earth orbit O3b system to 20 satellites.

On 2019-02-13, NASA issued a procurement notice to purchase two Soyuz seats from Roscosmos, with one seat on a mission in the fall of that year and the other in spring 2020.

OneWeb anticipated launching around 150 satellites in 2019 using four or five Soyuz rockets and potentially Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne.

A Russian Soyuz rocket launched from French Guiana on 2019-02-27, delivering six French-built OneWeb satellites into low Earth orbit.

The majority of OneWeb’s contracted Soyuz launches are expected to take place from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

OneWeb expects to begin launching roughly 30 satellites at a time on Soyuz rockets every three to four weeks in late summer or 2019-09-05.
