Next 25th July, 4 Galileo satellites will be put on orbit on top of an Ariane 5 from Kourou.
With this launch, the Galileo constellation will be completed as planned 10 years ago with all objectives achieved: Galileo signal is better than expected and now usable in all new mobile phones.
This video presents this last Galileo mission.
