A Financial Times article reported that OneWeb’s per-satellite cost had grown to more than $1 million, exceeding an initial $500,000 target.

Greg Wyler invested just under $10,000,000 into Wafer LLC, a Danvers, Massachusetts-based company that has created a prototype antenna.

OneWeb’s first six satellites were scheduled to launch 2019-02-19 from French Guiana on an Arianespace-operated Soyuz.

Wafer’s cost target for user terminals intended for large-scale consumer markets is between $200 and $300, all-in and delivered to the customer.

OneWeb’s planned constellation size was reduced from 900 to 600 satellites based on better-than-expected satellite performance from ground testing.

Wafer LLC developed a prototype antenna module that Greg Wyler values at $15 per module.

Previous public disclosures indicated OneWeb had raised $1,700,000,000 in capital, with the majority coming from SoftBank.

OneWeb has raised more than $2,000,000,000 but less than $2,500,000,000 to date.

OneWeb Satellites is a joint venture between Airbus Defence and Space and OneWeb to build the constellation.

Blue Origin plans to invest over $200,000,000 in the Huntsville engine production facility.

United Launch Alliance selected Blue Origin’s BE-4 engine in September 2018 to power the ULA Vulcan rocket.
