Summary

The Oneweb-0640 satellite, also known as OneWeb SL0640, was launched on March 9, 2023, from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This communication satellite has a configuration based on an Arrow bus and is owned by OnewebN, manufactured by ONEWUS in the UK. The satellite measures 1.3 meters in length with a diameter of 1 meter and spans up to 5 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. It weighs 148 kg at launch and has a dry mass of 140 kg. Its primary payload is a Ku-Band system, powered by solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's propulsion is provided by SPT-50 or BHT-350 Hall effect thrusters. With its trapezoidal design complemented by two panels, Oneweb-0640 is expected to have an operational lifetime of approximately 7 years.
