"The State Commission made a decision to refuel the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with propellants and launch it on a standby date - 01:13:40 Moscow time on August 22," Roscosmos said on Twitter.

Prior to this, the launch was postponed twice.

The first time was on August 19 due to a malfunction of the Russian equipment of the launch complex.

The second time was on August 20, when OneWeb asked to postpone the launch due to a malfunction in the software of the satellite ground control complex.

Earlier it was reported that the launch of the Russian automatic station on the moon was postponed to May 2022.
