OneWeb, a space company which is owned and backed by Bharti Airtel, just made an announcement on May, 30, Sunday, confirming that it had launched 36 of the new Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.

In a statement given by the company, it was said- “This investment from one of the world’s most experienced and largest global operators is a vote of confidence in OneWeb and underscores the arrival of low-earth orbit (Leo) satellites into mainstream long-term growth planning for major operators.”

The companied invested a total of $400 million in OneWeb in the month of January this year. The total amount of investment made to the company round up to around $1.9 billion as of today.
