Galileo L14 poster

On 17 December 2025, two Galileo satellites will be launched by Arianespace on Ariane 6 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

This 14th operational launch in the Galileo programme will improve the precision, availability and robustness of the Galileo system.

These satellites will benefit the billions of people who use Galileo daily via their smartphone as well as key sectors such as critical infrastructure, autonomous driving, air traffic, maritime, agriculture, emergency services and rescue operations.

The European Space Agency is responsible for the Galileo launch service contract with Arianespace. The Galileo programme is managed by the European Commission under the EU Space programme.

Once in orbit, the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) will bring the satellites into service and oversee their operation.
