Summary
The ONEWEB-0125 satellite, also known as OneWeb SL0142, was manufactured by Onewus and launched on December 18, 2020, from Vosto using a Soyuz-2-1B launch vehicle at PU1S. It uses the Arrow bus configuration and is designed for communication purposes with a Ku-Band payload. The satellite measures 1.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 1 meter, and spans 5 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. Its dry mass is 140 kg, and it had a launch mass of 148 kg. Equipped with SPT-50 or BHT-350 Hall effect thrusters for propulsion, the satellite relies on solar power from its solar arrays and batteries. The expected operational lifetime is approximately seven years. Owned by OneWeb, this trapezoid-shaped satellite with two panels operates in a low Earth orbit to provide communication services.
