ELON MUSK has sparked the fury of Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin after the UK's OneWeb teamed up with their competition - SpaceX - to launch satellites into orbit without the Russian space agency's help.
following its invasion of Ukraine, Mr Rogozin refused to green light the launch from Kazakhstan planned for March 5 until various demands were met. These included that the Government — OneWeb’s primary stakeholder — divest its stake in the firm, and that OneWeb provides assurances that the satellite constellation would not be used for military purposes.Yesterday, OneWeb announced that it had entered into an alternative agreement, in which launch capacities would be provided by SpaceX.
