Summary

The ONEWEB-0383 satellite, also known as OneWeb SL0383, is a communication satellite manufactured by ONEWUS and operated by ONEWEBN. Launched on October 14, 2021, from the VOSTO launch site using a Soyuz-2-1B launch vehicle, it has a configuration based on the Arrow bus with dimensions of 1.3 meters in length, 1 meter in diameter, and spans up to 5 meters. The satellite weighs 148 kilograms at launch and has a dry mass of 140 kg. It is equipped with a Ku-Band payload for communication purposes and solar arrays along with batteries for power generation. ONEWEB-0383 uses SPT-50 or BHT-350 Hall effect thrusters as motors to maintain its orbit, which it is expected to occupy for at least 7 years. The satellite's shape consists of a trapezoid with two panels and was launched from the PU1S launch pad in the UK.
