    (Rare)
    Official and original Fleet Management Segment OneWeb ST-29 launch patch. 3 1/2". This launch from the Vostochny Space Center in Russia was the first post bankruptcy launch from OneWeb under new ownership between Her Majesty's Government and Bharti, the forth launch of OneWeb satellites into orbit, and the first launch OneWeb has taken from Vostochny. This is a 100% embroidered patch with iron on backing.
    The Soyuz rocket carrying the 36 new platforms left the Vostochny pad at 21:26 local time (12:36 GMT).
    A near four-hour flight saw the spacecraft being dropped off in nine batches of four at an altitude of 450km.
    All the satellites still need to be manoeuvred into position at the intended operating height of 1,200km above the Earth.
    OneWeb control rooms in London and in Virginia, US, will oversee this task in the coming months.
    Some 650 satellites in total are required for the first generation of the project.
    But the imperative right now is to close the gap in financing for the first generation of the network.
