How did they launch their satellites?

  Seems like they partnered with SpaceX. https://www.ipinternational.net/oneweb-and-spacex-a-surprising-communications-partnership/ https://www.ipinternational.net/oneweb-and-spacex-a-surprisi...

    Not false, but they also partnered with every other launch provider under the sun.

      Good to know, any source for that? I only did a quick websearch and that was in the first results. EDIT: Nvm, just now saw the sibling comment with the wiki article.

  From a quick skim of their Wikipedia page[0]: basically anything they could get their hands on. Arianes 1 through 5, Atlas II and III, Delta IV, Proton, Zenit, Long March 3, Falcon 9. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat

    I've long been of the opinion that launchers are more or less commodities, the interesting stuff is what you shoot up.

      Not all launches are the same. ULA is still more competitive in geo.

    You're looking at the list of all Eutelsat satellites, but the satellites the article talks about are not on that list. Eutelsat is an old company that operates mostly geostationary TV/radio/etc satellites. In 2023 they acquired OneWeb, which operates Starlink-like satellites in low orbit, and that's what the article is about. For that the list of launches is much shorter, on fewer rockets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat_OneWeb#Launches https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat_OneWeb#Launches
