Explanation:

Satellite communications company OneWeb recently announced the arrival of 36 satellites at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota for its joint venture with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

With the next launch, OneWeb will have placed 70% of its planned number of Gen 1 low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites in orbit as part of its high-speed global broadband programme.

The satellites will be carried onboard GSLV-Mk III, ISRO’s heaviest rocket. One additional launch will take place this year, while three more are planned for early next year to complete the satellite constellation and achieve the setting up of a global broadband internet service by the end of 2023.

The OneWeb-NSIL partnership: In 2021, OneWeb had signed a letter of intent (LoI) with NSIL as one of the potential platforms to launch its satellites.
