OneWeb Satellites, a joint venture between Airbus and OneWeb, is revolutionizing the space industry by designing and manufacturing satellites for the OneWeb constellation. This collaboration combines the engineering expertise of Airbus with the visionary approach of OneWeb to provide global high-speed internet access through a constellation of up to 648 Low-Earth Orbit satellites. Breaking the traditional mold of satellite manufacturing, OneWeb Satellites has implemented commoditization and mass production techniques, similar to the automotive industry, to significantly reduce production times and costs.

With an international team and a supply chain comprised of approximately 40 major suppliers, they have established an industrial-scale, automated inventory management system and a cutting-edge factory with high-speed assembly lines. As a result, OneWeb Satellites can produce satellites at less than 10% of the cost and a production rate of up to two per day. Additionally, through Airbus, they offer a standardized platform and payload interface that can accommodate various payloads, enabling cost savings and unlocking new mission possibilities.

In summary, OneWeb Satellites is revolutionizing the economics of space with their innovative approach to satellite manufacturing
