Research is being conducted to launch 36 OneWeb spacecraft from the cosmodrome, not 34, Roscosmos noted

MOSCOW, August 22. /TASS/. The flight trajectories from the Baikonur cosmodrome during the launches of the British OneWeb communication satellites will be finalized to increase the number of devices launched at a time. This is stated in the message of Roscosmos, distributed on Sunday.

"Currently, work is underway to optimize the flight paths from Baikonur, taking into account the fact that the size of the satellites is slightly larger than expected," the report says.

According to the state corporation, research is being conducted to launch 36 OneWeb spacecraft from Baikonur, and not 34, as at present. Currently, 36 such satellites can be put into orbit from the Vostochny cosmodrome. "This difference is due to the higher energy characteristics of the rocket within a given inclination and the full correspondence of the areas of the carrier stages falling," Roscosmos noted.

The Soyuz-2.1 b rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 01: 13 Moscow time. The removal of 34 vehicles by the upper stage took three hours and 45 minutes. The satellites were separated in several stages. As a result, the number of spacecraft of the British company in orbit has increased to 288.
