OneWeb confirmed the acquisition of signals from all 36 satellites, it said. The launch vehicle took off with a total payload of 5,805 kg at 9.00 hrs and gained the required altitude of 450 km in about nine minutes of flight, and achieved satellite injection conditions, ISRO said in a statement. “In its sixth consecutive successful flight, LVM3 carried 5,805 kgs of payload to Low Earth Orbit,” the space agency said on its official social media account. All 36 OneWeb Gen-1 Satellites injected into the intended orbits.” ISRO said, “LVM3-M3/OneWeb India-2 mission is accomplished. While the first set of 16 satellites were injected around 20 minutes after lift off, the remaining satellites were placed into intended orbits later. Soon after takeoff, the rocket sequentially deployed the satellites into multiple orbits.
