Summary
The ONEWEB-0056 satellite, also known as OneWeb SL0056, was launched on February 6, 2020, from the Tyuratam (TYMSC) launch site using a Soyuz-2-1B vehicle from Launch Pad LC31. It is owned by Oneweb and manufactured by ONEWUS with a mission focused on communication services. The satellite uses an Arrow bus configuration and features a Ku-Band payload for its operations. Its dimensions include a length of 1.3 meters, diameter of 1 meter, and span of 5 meters. The dry mass is recorded at 140 kg, while the launch mass was 148 kg. Equipped with solar arrays and batteries for power, it utilizes SPT-50 or BHT-350 Hall effect thrusters as its motor system. The satellite’s trapezoid shape augmented by two panels is designed to support a communication purpose expected to last over seven years.
