OneWeb has partnered with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of the national space agency of India -- Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) -- to facilitate this launch.
The London-based OneWeb is building a constellation of 648 LEO satellites, which will deliver high-speed, low-latency global connectivity.
This latest successful launch brings OneWeb's total in-orbit constellation to 218 satellites.
Mittal and OneWeb CEO Neil Masterson are in Kazakhstan for the occasion.
The capital raised so far positions the company to be fully funded for its first-generation satellite fleet, totaling 648 satellites, by the end of 2022, said a statement.
