A Soyuz rocket successfully launched 34 OneWeb satellites. The Soyuz lifted off from French Guiana at 1:09 pm EST (1809 GMT) Thursday, deploying its payload of 34 satellites over the next four hours. The launch was Arianespace's 13th mission for OneWeb but only the second to use a Soyuz rocket launched from Guiana Space Center. Arianespace has said it plans to launch the rest of OneWeb's constellation this year to enable the company to provide global services, with OneWeb announcing additional agreements with companies worldwide to distribute its planned connectivity services.
