Airbus Bags 100-Satellite Order from Space-based Internet Provider "OneWeb"
The order will expand OneWeb's LEO constellation, enhancing global internet connectivity and service continuity.
Airbus Defence and Space will build 100 satellites for Eutelsat's OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation extension under a contract targeting deliveries by late 2026.
The new satellites will enable key technology upgrades, notably 5G on-ground integration and ensure technology architecture compatibility with Europe’s planned IRIS2 multi-orbit constellation, due to enter operational service in 2030, of which Eutelsat will be one of the main operators.
All 100 new satellites will be built at the Airbus site in Toulouse. Production is expected to start in 2026.
