Just in case you forgot there were other satellite internet constellations, on February 10 at 0609 UTC, an Arianespace Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat launched the OneWeb 13 mission from the Guiana Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Onboard were 34 satellites.

This launch increased the constellation to almost two-thirds complete, 428 of 650 satellites. Other launches have occurred from the Baikonur and Vostochny Cosmodromes, two of the other space centers the Soyuz launches from. OneWeb expects to finish the constellation later this year.
