On December 17, 2025, with Ariane 6, Arianespace will place into orbit a pair of Galileo satellites for the European Space Agency (ESA), on behalf of the European Commission and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA).

The satellites, designated SAT 33 and SAT 34, are part of the 14th operation launch for the Galileo programme (Galileo L14). Both will join the constellation of first-generation Galileo satellites, improving the precision, availability and robustness of Europe's global navigation satellite system.

The VA266 mission will be the fifth flight for Ariane 6, Europe's heavy-lift launcher. It will be performed with an Ariane 6 with two boosters, the Ariane 62.

With this launch, Arianespace supports a critical European navigation satellite system and guarantees Europe's autonomous access to space.
