Next two satellites from Galileo program are going to be launched with Arianespace rocket from Guiana Space Centre launch site LCS.

After launching first satellite in 2011 Galileo is planned to provide services in 2016, furthemore in 2020 it is scheduled to complete all from 30 (24 operational and 6 spare) satellites.

Galileo satellites 9 and 10 so far are functioning perfectly during the launch and early orbit phase (LEOP). The pair is undergoing a series of configurations and verification by mission team in Darmstadt, Germany…

Signals from both Galileo satellites launched March 27 are now transmitting signals.

Researchers at Université de Liège and at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, or DLR) reported on May 21 that the first of the full-operational capability (FOC) satellites had begun transmitting standard L-band signals. The satellite, designated Galileo 8, is using pseudorandom-noise-code identifier 22.

Two new Galileo satellites have been successfully placed in orbit, joining the existing six probes in the constellation. The operation went off without a hitch – something that can’t be said for the troubled assent of the fifth and sixth Galileo satellites.

With the launch of Galileo 7 and 8, the EU’s Galileo satellite navigation system now has a total eight satellites in orbit. Galileo 7 & 8 lifted off at 21:46 GMT on March 27 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on top of a Soyuz rocket.
