Summary
The satellite ONEWEB-0033, also known as OneWeb SL0033, is a communication satellite manufactured by ONEWUS for ONEWEB. It was launched on February 6, 2020, from the TSYMC launch site using Soyuz-2-1B launch vehicle and stabilized one day later. The satellite uses an Arrow bus configuration with solar arrays and batteries for power. With a dry mass of 140 kg and a launch mass of 148 kg, it measures 1.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 1 meter, and spans 5 meters. It is equipped with a Ku-Band payload and uses SPT-50 or BHT-350 Hall effect thrusters for propulsion. The satellite's shape is described as Trapezoid+2 pan and its mission is expected to last for about 7 years.
