On May 28 at 17:38 UTC, an Arianespace-operated Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat launched another 36 satellites for the OneWeb satellite internet constellation from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia.

Low clouds obscured the rocket after only a few seconds of flight so the webcast followed the rocket only briefly from the ground and then switched to the onboard cameras. Just under four hours after launch and several burns from the Fregat upper stage, the satellites were deployed in nine sets of four, bringing the total number of satellites in the constellation to 218, or about one-third of the total constellation.
