Arianespace Flight VS13 / Galileo Sat 11-12

12 successful launches in 2015, a new record for the Arianespace family

Arianespace has successfully launched the 11th and 12th satellites in the Galileo constellation for the European Commission, under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).

The company's 12th launch of the year, and the 13th Soyuz launch from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, took place on December 17 at 8:51 am local time. It was attended by Elzbieta Bienkowska, the European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs.

With 12 Galileo satellites now in orbit, half launched in 2015, Arianespace is very proud of delivering this decisive solution to ensure the sovereignty of European governments and improve citizens’ lives: a global, independent satellite navigation, positioning and timing system.
