O3b Networks Setting Sail with Cruise Ship Contract
PARIS — Startup satellite broadband provider O3b Networks will deliver 500 megabits per second of Ka-band broadband connectivity to the world's largest cruise ship under a contract expected to be announced June 23.
In the latest demonstration of the growing appeal of the maritime sector for satellite fleet operators whose core business is elsewhere, O3b is signing a five-year contract with Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. to provide bandwidth to the Oasis of the Seas starting in mid-2013. The ship, whose itinerary is limited to the Caribbean, has capacity for 8,000 crew and passengers.
O3b, based in Britain's Channel Islands, is building a unique satellite infrastructure that features satellites in 8,100-kilometer equatorial orbits that provide Ka-band bandwidth to telecommunications operators and other corporate customers located between 45 degrees north and 45 degrees south of the equator.
Backed by SES of Luxembourg, a major fixed satellite services fleet operator, O3b has 12 satellites under construction by Thales Alenia Space of Cannes, France.

The satellites are scheduled for launch starting in early 2013, when four spacecraft are set to be orbited by a Europeanized version of Russia's Soyuz rocket operated from Europe's Guiana Space Center on South America's northeast coast. A second group of four satellites is set for launch on a Soyuz between April and June of next year, forming the core network of eight spacecraft. With these eight satellites, O3b expects to start commercial service by September. A third group of four satellites is scheduled for launch in 2014.
Operating in low Earth orbit, O3b's satellites drift over their 600-kilometer-diameter coverage areas, requiring tracking antennas to switch to each succeeding satellite as it passes overhead.
Given this network architecture, O3b's capacity over the oceans in its coverage area would be fully available for maritime users. The alternative is that they fly empty for the part of their orbit.
Each satellite has 10 beams, each capable of handling 600 megabits per second of bandwidth downlink and 600 megabits per second uplink.
O3b Chief Executive Steve Collar, in an interview, said the O3b satellites can offer maritime customers a multiple of the bandwidth they could get from competing satellite systems in Ka- or Ku-band.
Collar said his company is positioning itself as an alternative for that portion of the maritime market that needs real broadband. For the moment, he said, O3b is focusing on cruise ships and mega-yachts.
"The cruise ship industry today is lacking in broadband," Collar said. "We can offer the part of the market seeking high-end connections. We are thinking of a market that is between 30 and 40 vessels in this class. We are also targeting the oil and gas sector. Today there is no good existing solution for seismic operations and we can address that market. The same is true for [maritime] government applications, which have a similar demand for broadband."
Hardly a week has passed in recent months without a satellite industry consultancy, a satellite fleet operator or a manufacturer of satellite ground gear pointing to growing demand for broadband among maritime customers.
Those already in the maritime market, such as mobile services operator Inmarsat of London and Telenor of Norway, are adding Ka-band capacity to their fleets to provide increased bandwidth.
Those historically out of the maritime market, such as fleet operators SES, Intelsat of Luxembourg and Washington, Eutelsat of Paris and Telesat of Canada, are tinkering with their fleets to capture maritime customers.
Collar said none of them can offer the throughput of O3b with the low latency — the speed of the signal's round trip between the satellite and the user — that O3b's low-orbiting satellites can provide. The relative merits of low orbit versus geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers over the equator for voice transmissions and certain Internet applications are regularly debated in the satellite telecommunications industry.
Once its O3b service begins, Royal Caribbean will be able to conduct a side-by-side comparison of O3b's Ka-band offer with a competing Ku-band service the cruise company has installed on other vessels. The Oasis of the Seas will be outfitted with three 2.2-meter tracking antennas to communicate with the O3b satellites.

ЦитироватьThe O3b satellites of Jersey, Channel Islands based O3b Networks Limited will offer low latency Internet backhaul to emerging markets and developing countries worldwide at speeds up to 10 Gbps with a combined total capacity in excess of 160 Gbps. Thales Alenia Space started design activities under contract in 2007 and has received Authorization To Proceed (ATP) with the construction phase of the project. The delivery of the initial satellites and service activation are scheduled for late 2010.
O3b Networks recently announced the new satellite network with support and funding from Google, Inc, Liberty Global, Inc., and HSBC Principal Investments. Bridging the gap between current satellites and fiber optic cables, O3b Networks will provide fiber-like trunking capacity to telecom operators and backhaul directly to 3G Cellular and WiMAX towers.
The space vehicle is designed, integrated and tested, by Thales Alenia Space. Leveraging the heritage redundant service module design and manufactured utilizing an innovative island production approach. The unique payload system design enables flexibility of antenna usage and graceful degradation. The first eight space vehicles were planned be in orbit by 4th quarter, 2010, but were delayed to 2013.
The Ka-Band payload is designed to enable the high speed flow of data between locations on the ground. Twelve fully steerable antennas ensure an optimized connection to the area where data is needed. The payload portion uses existing Ka-Band repeater technology to allow for straightforward allocation of the bandwidth anywhere within the 500 km diameter area on the ground which is illuminated.
The flexible configuration of the satellite allows for inter-antenna data transfer in a variety of ways. Thus, trunking between two points is simple, or trunking between many points is also possible. The steerable antennas can be moved onto a location in minutes and each provide up to 1.25 Gbps of throughput.
The service module provides platform three axis pointing stabilization. The 3-axis control is provided by a combination reaction wheels, torque rods and reaction engine assemblies. Attitude determination is provided by earth and fine sun sensors in conjunction with an inertial measurement unit. A GPS Navigation Unit provides orbit position. Power is supplied by two gallium arsenide solar arrays and a Li-Ion battery.
Thales Alenia Space announced in September 2008 it has started construction of 16 of its Low Earth Orbit communications satellites with options for additional spacecraft. In November 2011, four more satellites were ordered to be launched in 2014.
The satellites were originally to be launched on Zenit-3SL (2) boosters, but changed in 2009 to Soyuz-2-1b Fregat boosters.

In 2007, when O3b Networks began planning a Ka-band satellite constellation orbiting at the unlikely altitude of 8,069 km (5,000 mi.) over the equator, the startup fleet operator was hoping to bring high-speed Internet to emerging markets in underdeveloped parts of the planet—the so-called "other three billion" for which the company is named.
Спойлер
While most telecommunications satellites operate fr om a fixed point in geostationary orbit 36,000 km above the equator, O3b is banking on the nearness of medium Earth orbit to reduce network latency—the lag users experience when loading a web page.
"The driver behind the orbital altitude is to achieve a roundtrip latency of less than 150 milliseconds, which is the typical user experience on the Internet," says Brian Holz, O3b's chief technical officer.
Designed with a coverage area that falls between 45 deg. north and south of the equator, the constellation's architecture will use 10 steerable Ka-band spot beams on each spacecraft to communicate with a ground segment that will require users to install tracking antennas capable of following the orbiting satellites, handing off from one to another as they pass slowly overhead.
Holz says the company is installing eight teleports around the globe, with a network operations center in Virginia and a satellite operations center in Luxembourg.
"We're investing in our ground terminals, including 1.8-meter and 2.4-meter antennas built by General Dynamics and a 4.5-meter system and 7.3-meter system available from ViaSat," he says, adding that Comtech is providing modems tailored to support mobile backhaul while Gilat will supply networking hubs and O3b customer modems.
Despite the inherent risk in O3b's unorthodox approach to the system architecture—most communications satellites in geostationary orbit use fixed antennas that need little in the way of maintenance and repair—the concept has drawn the attention of SES, the world's second largest satellite fleet operator in terms of revenue. SES is now a major investor in the initial constellation, which has grown from eight to 12 satellites as a result of the additional financial backing.
Last year O3b, which is based in Britain's Channel Islands, booked nine customers, including an 8,000-passenger cruise liner owned by Royal Caribbean, on which it will train an entire 700-km-dia. spot beam. This year, in the first quarter alone, the startup has already booked seven new customers and is drawing interest from government and military markets.
"We have 10 steerable spot beams and we can lay that coverage down pretty much anywhere globally," Holz says. "Our Royal Caribbean service is going to put 400 mbps to one ship. The U.S. Navy, for example, definitely does not have that capability, and we're one of the only operators that can provide it."
O3b expects to launch the 12-satellite constellation in batches of four by early 2014, with the first tranche expected to orbit atop a Soyuz rocket to be launched May 27 from Europe's French Guiana spaceport in Kourou. That date may slip several weeks due to the spaceport's crowded manifest, which includes an early June launch of Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) to the International Space Station (ISS).
Holz says O3b is licensed for 24 satellites, the first 12 of which are being built by Thales Alenia Space of France and Italy. The initial constellation, including 12 700-kg (1,543-lb.) spacecraft, plus launch, insurance and the associated ground segment, will cost $1.4 billion. Holz says the first eight satellites should produce $250 million in annual revenue once they become operational later this year.
If all goes according to plan, O3b expects to organize a competition for eight more satellites beginning in the first quarter of 2014, though he says the company is pleased with Thales Alenia Space's work to date.
"They have a good capability in this class of satellite, and a good value proposition to us," he says.
The Cannes, France-based company is developing a new EliteBus platform that incorporates the best elements of the O3b development with those of similarly-sized satellites Thales Alenia Space is building for Covington, La.-based startup GlobalStar and fleet operator Iridium, resulting in production savings the company says will be passed on to customers.
"EliteBus is for telecom and Earth observation, and we are now in discussions with some customers in the U.S., and elsewh ere, to use this competitively priced platform," says Thales Alenia Space President and CEO Jean-Loic Galle.
Galle says the company plans to pitch the EliteBus platform to the French defense ministry, which is considering development of an operational signals intelligence constellation of three spacecraft known as Ceres. Thales Alenia Space would provide the platform and payload, while EADS Astrium Satellites would serve as integrator.

ЦитироватьThe dawn of a new era in connectivity: O3b Networks' first four satellites arrive for the next Arianespace Soyuz launch
April 25, 2013 – Soyuz Flight VS05
The initial four O3b spacecraft to be launched by Arianespace on Soyuz have arrived in French Guiana, taking the global satellite operator one step closer to its goal of deploying a next-generation network that provides emerging market customers with access to fast, flexible and affordable connectivity.
These satellites are now in the Spaceport's S1 payload processing facility near the city of Kourou, having been transferred by road after arriving aboard a chartered Antonov An-124 cargo jetliner at Cayenne's Félix Eboué airport earlier in the week.
"It is beautiful day in Kourou," Bob Morris, O3b Networks' Vice President of Space Systems, wrote in the company's blog after the spacecraft were delivered.
Arianespace's Soyuz mission for O3b is scheduled for June, marking the medium-lift vehicle's fifth flight from French Guiana since its 2011 introduction at the equatorial launch site.
O3b's Ka-band satellites were built by prime contractor Thales Alenia Space, and are to be positioned at a medium-orbit altitude of approximately 8,060 km. – offering high speed, low cost, low-latency Internet and telecommunications services to emerging markets. In addition to the first batch of spacecraft lofted by the upcoming Soyuz mission in June, another Arianespace flight is scheduled to obit four more later this year, followed by an additional four in 2014.

April 29, 2013 – Soyuz Flight VS05
The first four satellites to serve O3b Networks in providing emerging market connectivity worldwide have entered their checkout phase at the Spaceport, readying them for a June flight on Arianespace's fifth mission from French Guiana with its medium-lift Soyuz launcher.
These satellites are now inside the Spaceport's S1A clean room facility, and have been removed from the shipping containers that protected them during a trans-Atlantic cargo jetliner flight from Europe to the equatorial launch site.
The spacecraft have a trapezoidal-shaped main body to facilitate their integration on the payload dispenser system to be utilized on the upcoming Soyuz mission. Operating in Ka-band, the Thales Alenia Space-built satellites will be positioned at a medium-orbit altitude of 8,063 km. – offering high-speed, low-cost, low-latency Internet and telecommunications services for O3b customers in emerging markets.
In addition to the first batch of O3b spacecraft to be lofted by the Soyuz mission in June, another Arianespace flight is scheduled to orbit four more later this year for the company, followed by an additional four in 2014.
As checkout of the O3b satellites gains momentum, activity also is underway in the Spaceport's northwestern sector to ready their Soyuz vehicle and its ELS launch site for the upcoming mission – which is designated Flight VS05 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system. This includes preparations with the Fregat upper stage in Soyuz' MiK launcher assembly building, as well as routine launch pad maintenance that is performed between missions.
Arianespace has conducted four Soyuz launches to date from French Guiana, beginning with the workhorse medium-lift vehicle's historic inaugural Flight VS01 at the Spaceport in October 2011 – which orbited two Galileo IOV (In-Orbit Validation) navigation satellites for Europe. It was followed by Flight VS02 in December 2011, carrying a mixed payload of France's Pléiades 1A dual-use imaging platform, the Chilean SSOT observation satellite and four French ELISA micro-satellite demonstrators. Flight VS03 was performed in October 2012 with two more Galileo IOV spacecraft, and Flight VS04 occurred in December 2012 to deploy the Pléiades 1B payload.
Soyuz is part of Arianespace's three-member launcher family, which also includes the heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega – which are operated side-by-side at the Spaceport. With this inventory, Arianespace is the world's only launch services provider today that is capable of launching all types of payloads to all orbits – from the smallest institutional and scientific spacecraft to the largest geostationary telecommunications platforms, along with satellite clusters for constellations and resupply vessels to support the International Space Station.

The first Arianespace Soyuz mission for O3b Networks has moved into its next phase of preparations at the Spaceport, as fueling is now underway with the global satellite services provider's spacecraft that will provide connectivity for emerging markets worldwide.
This upcoming medium-lift Soyuz launch – designated Flight VS05 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system – will orbit four O3b Networks spacecraft during a June mission from French Guiana.
Fueling was initiated with FM4 (Flight Model 4) in the launch site's S5 payload preparation building, wh ere the satellite was transferred after verification of its platform and payload during activity in the separate S1B clean room facility at the Spaceport.
O3b Networks' other three satellites will follow in the fueling process, enabling them to be integrated on a dispenser system that is to deploy the cluster of spacecraft during Arianespace's Soyuz flight.
Built by Thales Alenia Space, these spacecraft are to operate in Ka-band at a medium-orbit altitude of 8,063 km. – offering high-speed, low-cost, low-latency Internet and telecommunications services for O3b customers in emerging markets. The satellites have a trapezoidal-shaped main body that facilitates their integration on the Soyuz payload dispenser system.

Preparations for Arianespace's next Soyuz flight are in full swing at multiple locations across the Spaceport, including the start-up of satellite installation in the S5 payload preparation center, and initiation of launcher build-up within the ELS launch site's MIK integration building.
At the Spaceport's main base area, the first of four O3b Networks satellites to be orbited on the June 24 mission is now mounted on the payload dispenser for Soyuz. During activity in one of the S5 building's clean rooms, this trapezoidal-shaped spacecraft was fitted to the tube-shaped dispenser system's upper and lower attach points. It will be followed by a clustering of the remaining three spacecraft around the tube, enabling the completed dispenser to be positioned atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage and encapsulated inside the payload fairing – creating the launcher's "upper composite."
In parallel, the Soyuz is taking shape at the ELS launch site's MIK launcher integration building as the upper and lower sections of its core second stage were aligned for mating on horizontal jigs positioned in the floor-level rail system. This activity clears the way for installation of the launcher's four first-stage boosters around the core stage. Once the integration process is completed with the Soyuz' centerline third stage, the vehicle will be rolled out to the launch pad and raised to the vertical position – wh ere its upper composite is to be installed.
Arianespace's upcoming launch will be the fifth Soyuz mission fr om French Guiana since the workhorse medium-lift vehicle's historic Spaceport introduction in October 2011.

June 19, 2013 – Flights VS05 and VA214
The launch campaign for Arianespace's upcoming medium-lift Soyuz mission with four trailblazing Internet connectivity satellites is ready for final preparation following encapsulation of the O3b Networks spacecraft at the Spaceport in French Guiana and the launcher's rollout.
In parallel, payload checkout for the Spaceport's subsequent flight – employing a heavy-lift Ariane 5 – has moved into full swing with arrival of the mission's second passenger.
Flight VS05's Soyuz ST-B vehicle is raised on the Spaceport's launch pad, where it will receive its payload of four O3b Networks satellites.
This activity continues the flight pace in French Guiana, building on the resources of Arianespace's three-member launcher family: Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega.
The Soyuz flight on June 24 – designated VS05 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system – will have a duration of 2 hours and 22 minutes. Rollout of the three-stage vehicle occurred today, to be followed by payload integration atop the Soyuz.
After the powered phases for the Soyuz ST-B vehicle's first three stages, the Fregat-MT upper stage will perform four burns, allowing deployment of the O3b spacecraft.
The Soyuz' total lift performance for Flight VS05 is estimated at 3,200 kg., which includes a combined mass of approximately 2,800 kg. for the four satellites.
Once operational, these Ka-band relay platforms will initiate the constitution of a satellite constellation to provide telecommunications and Internet services combining high speed and low costs for billions of people across the world who do not yet have adequate internet access.

ЦитироватьO3b Networks' four satellites are integrated on Soyuz for Arianespace's next mission from French Guiana
June 20, 2013 – Soyuz Flight VS05
The fifth Soyuz to be launched from French Guiana is now complete following the integration of its upper composite consisting of four O3b Networks satellites, their protective payload fairing and the Fregat upper stage.
This activity was performed at the Spaceport's ELS launch complex near the town of Sinnamary, beginning with the composite's transfer on a special transporter, followed by hoisting to the upper level of a purpose-built mobile gantry.
Final checkout of the Soyuz is now underway, leading to the Arianespace liftoff planned on Monday, June 24 at precisely 3:53:51 p.m., local time in French Guiana.
The cluster of four O3b Networks satellites to be orbited on Arianespace's upcoming flight will initiate the creation of a next-generation satellite network for telecommunications operators, Internet service providers, enterprise and government customers in emerging markets.
A total of 12 O3b Networks satellites are to be orbited by Arianespace in groups of four, with the next mission planned for later this year, and another in 2014. These Ka-band relay platforms are produced by Thales Alenia Space, and have a liftoff mass of 700 kg. each.

Говорили что в Куру летает Байконурская бригада Союзы пускать, как же запустят Ресурс на следующий день? С Плесецка привлекут?
Там, судя по фоторепортажу, таджики (?) русский спутник ДЗЗ готовят...
Я неоднократно пытался выяснить, есть ли "группа товарищей" общая и незаменимая для подготовки пусков в РФ и в Куру. Ответа внятного так и не получил :) Подозреваю, что это де-факто служебная тайна. И для Арианэспас тоже.
Все очень просто. У кого родственники\любовники и т.д. "круче" (или как это - "коммуникативные навыки" лучше развиты) - тот едет на бОльшие деньги и на относительно лучшие условия, у кого нет - у того нет. Как и в любых других компаниях.

MISSION DESCRIPTION
The fifth Soyuz launch fr om the Guiana Space Center (CSG) will place into circular orbit, at an
altitude of about 783 km, the four satellites of the O3b constellation.
The launcher will be carrying a total payload of 3,204 kg, including about 2800 kg for the four O3b
satellites, to be released into its targeted orbit at an inclination of 0.04 degrees
The launch will be fr om the Soyuz Launch Complex (ELS) in Sinnamary, French Guiana.
Orbit : circular
Altitude : 7830 km
Inclination : 0.04°
Liftoff is scheduled for Monday, June 24, 2013 , at precisely:
3:53:51 pm (Local Time in French Guiana)
2:53:51 pm (in Washington, DC)
6:53:51 pm (UTC)
8:53:51 pm (in Paris)
10:53:51 pm (in Moscow)
The launch at a glance
Following liftoff from the Guiana Space Center, the powered phase of the lower three Soyuz stages will last about nine minutes. The third stage of the launcher will then be separated from the upper composite, comprising the Fregat upper stage and the four O3b satellites. The three lower stages will fall back into the sea.
Fregat will carry out three main powered phases:
• First burn, lasting about 4 minutes, followed by a ballistic phase lasting about 8 minutes and 30 seconds.
• Second burn, lasting about 8 minutes and 30 seconds, followed by a second ballistic phase, lasting one hour and 21 minutes.
• Third burn, lasting about 5 minutes.
One additional burn will be carried out with Attitude Control System (ACS) to inject the satellites on the dedicated orbit.
The satellites will be released two by two, with the first pair being released about two hours after liftoff.
The second pair of satellites will then be released about 22 minutes later. Two successive firings of the Fregat engine will place Fregat into an orbit underneath that of the O3b constellation.
Following satellite separation, Fregat will be inserted on a circular graveyard orbit.
Mission length
The nominal length of the mission, from liftoff to separation of the satellites, is 2 hours and 22 minutes.
The O3b constellation satellites were built by Thales Alenia Space for the O3b Networks Lim ited satellite operator
LAUNCH COUNTDOWN AND FLIGHT EVENTS

"Союз СТ-B" со спутниками связи O3b стартовал из Французской Гвианы
МОСКВА, 25 июн — РИА Новости. Российская ракета-носитель "Союз СТ-B" стартовала с европейского космодрома Куру во Французской Гвиане с четырьмя спутниками O3b Networks, предназначенными для обеспечения недорогого доступа в интернет. Пятый запуск российской ракеты с экваториального космодрома транслировался в прямом эфире на сайте компании Arianespace.
Накануне запуск был перенесен на сутки из-за неблагоприятных погодных условий в верхних слоях атмосферы, а затем — еще на полчаса из-за плохой погоды. Ракета стартовала в 23.27 мск, все три ступени отработали штатно, головной обтекатель отделился. В настоящее время разгонный блок "Фрегат" выдал первый из трех запланированных импульсов. Как ожидается, первая пара спутников отделится от разгонного блока в 01.27 мск, а вторая — в 01.49 мск....

Это диктор в данном конкретном репортаже разьяснила. И в других такое бывает - сам когда-то помогал в подготовке сценария репортажа одного из пусков (не Арианэспас) и первое, что было решено сказать как только спадет напряженность (для зрителя это момент, когда с земли уже не видно улетающей РН) - именно о том. что анимация отражает лишь прогнозируемые события и значения параметров.

ЦитироватьO3b's first four satellites roared skyward aboard the Arianespace Soyuz launch vehicle.
TUESDAY JUNE 25, FRENCH GUIANA: In the early evening of 25th June 2013, O3b's first four satellites roared skyward aboard the Arianespace Soyuz launch vehicle. A few short hours later, first contact was made with O3b's gateway in Hawaii, confirming the birth of the satellite industry's newest and most innovative operator.
O3b is deploying a revolutionary new network that combines the reach of satellite with the speed of fiber, bringing high speed, low cost connectivity to billions of people across emerging markets who have never had access to this level of connectivity before. Customers witnessing the launch included Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, O3b's first Maritime customer, Telecom Cook Islands, who will receive the first commercial signals across the network this summer and Maju Nusa, soon to roll out a state of the art 3G backhaul network in Malaysia built on O3b's low latency capacity.
John W Dick, O3b Chairman, said
"Today, a life-changing journey has begun for many of the remaining unconnected and underserved regions of the world. In only a few years, we have designed and launched a revolutionary system; one that will transform the way communications are handled in many of the world's underserved markets. Working with our customers, O3b will open up a new and exciting world to billions of people who, up to now, have not experienced the benefits of fast Internet connectivity and who, as a result, are not on a level playing field."
A second group of four O3b satellites will be launched in September, completing the first phase in O3b's constellation and ahead of the launch of the company's service later in the year. The O3b system is scalable, designed to allow additional satellites to be launched and slotted into the system, increasing capacity elegantly and simply as demand inexorably grows.
Steve Collar, O3b CEO, said:
"So much has happened already in O3b's short life but this launch is the start of something extraordinary. Tonight we celebrate and then return our unerring focus to deliver the promise that we have made to our fabulous, pioneering customers around the world."

25 минут с секундами при запуске с разных космодромов и 56 минут при запуске с одного космодрома :-)

PARIS — The first four O3b Networks Ka-band broadband satellites have successfully cleared in-orbit testing and their operation is being transferred from prime contractor Thales Alenia Space to O3b shareholder SES's Luxembourg campus, Thales Alenia Space announced July 26.
The four 700-kilogram O3b satellites were launched June 25 aboard a Europeanized Soyuz rocket (http://www.spacenews.com/article/features/35975satellite-telecom-soyuz-delivers-first-four-o3b-satellites-to-orbit). They operate from an equatorial orbit at 8,063 kilometers in altitude, an unusual orbital architecture designed to minimize the time it takes a signal to travel between the satellites and their ground users.
Based in Britain's Channel Islands, O3b has eight more satellites under construction by Cannes, France-based Thales Alenia Space. The next four are scheduled for launch in September, also aboard a Europeanized Soyuz. A September launch would permit O3b to begin initial commercial service before the end of the year.

The third four-satellite batch is scheduled for a Soyuz launch in 2014. O3b and satellite fleet operator SES have said that a positive reaction from O3b's target commercial and governmental markets would trigger an order for more satellites. SES officials have said the O3b orbit could host up to 120 satellites.
