Arianespace Flight VS21 – Launch Presentation

About

For its second mission of the year — and the initial flight in 2019 with the Soyuz medium launcher — Arianespace will perform the first launch for the OneWeb constellation.

By operating this maiden flight, out of 21 launches on behalf of the global satellite operator, Arianespace participates in the fulfilment of its customer’s ultimate ambition: providing Internet access for everyone, everywhere.

This mission will bring the number of constellation satellites orbited by Arianespace to 109, which shows a remarkable ability to deploy any type of constellation with its current and future family of launchers.

Flight VS21 will be performed from the Soyuz Launch Complex (ELS) in Sinnamary, French Guiana.

The launch vehicle, along with the satellites, was transferred to the launch zone on February 23, enabling the flight to take place on Wednesday, February 27, 2019.

Liftoff is scheduled at exactly:

• 4:37 p.m., in Washington, D.C. • 6:37 p.m., in Kourou, French Guiana • 21h37 Universal Time (UTC) • 10:37 p.m., in Paris • 0:37 a.m., in Moscow on February 28, 2019

• 6:37 a.m., in Tokyo on February 28, 2019.
