Launch Galileo 5-6

22 Aug

The next satellites in Europe's Galileo satellite navigation system will be launched on 22 August, ushering in the system deployment phase and paving the way for the start of initial services.

Galileo SATs 5-6 are scheduled to lift off at 12:27 GMT (14:27 CEST, 09:27 local time) on 22 August from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana on top of a Soyuz rocket. They are expected to become operational, after initial in-orbit testing, in autumn.
