Galileo constellation deployment: Arianespace to orbit two more satellites on a Soyuz launcher in May 2016

The European Commission, as the Program Manager of the Galileo Program, has decided to speed up the deployment of the Galileo space segment by adding a Soyuz launch in 2016, based on the confirmed availability of the satellites built by OHB.   
                                   
The additional launch, planned for May 2016, will be carried out by Arianespace from the Guyana Space Center in French Guyana, within the scope of the company's contract with the European Space Agency (ESA). It will orbit two FOC (Full Operational Capability) satellites, and precedes Arianespace's already scheduled launch of four Galileo satellites on an Ariane 5 ES during the fourth quarter of 2016.
With these two launches, six new Galileo satellites will be deployed in 2016, as in 2015, bringing the total number in the constellation to 18 by the end of the year.
The European Union's Galileo program aims to develop a complete global satellite navigation system, under civilian control. The system will comprise 30 satellites, of which 12 have already been orbited by Arianespace.
Including this latest mission, Arianespace's launch manifest for 2016 now comprises a total of 12 launches from the Guyana Space Center.
Commenting on this decision, Arianespace Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Israël said: "We are very proud of this mark of confidence shown by the European Commission and ESA in Arianespace, a benchmark launch partner in the Galileo program. We will be orbiting six Galileo satellites in 2016, two with Soyuz and four with Ariane 5, clearly showing that our launcher family perfectly matches Europe's requirements."

 About Galileo
Europe initiated, the Galileo program to develop a new global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Under civilian control, it will offer a guaranteed, high-precision positioning service. Galileo is the first joint infrastructure produced and financed by the European Union, which will be the system owner. It features the latest innovative technologies developed in Europe to benefit all citizens. Responsible for the Galileo program, the European Commission's DG GROWTH has assigned its definition and procurement to the Navigation directorate of the European Space Agency.

Two satellites arrive for Arianespace's next Galileo mission from French Guiana
                     
The two Galileo satellites for Arianespace's Flight VS15 Soyuz mission were delivered by a 747 cargo jetliner that touched down March 5 at Félix Eboué Airport in French Guiana.

The next pair of Galileo satellites to be orbited by Arianespace for Europe's global satellite navigation system have arrived in French Guiana, positioning them to be readied for a May liftoff aboard a Soyuz launcher from the Spaceport.
                            
Arriving yesterday on a 747 cargo jetliner at Félix Eboué Airport – which is located southwest of French Guiana's capital city, Cayenne – the satellites were then readied for transport by road to the Spaceport.
The medium-lift mission, designated Flight VS15 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system, is an addition to the company's 2016 manifest and will loft  two FOC (Full Operational Capability) Galileo satellites.
Flight VS15 will precede Arianespace's launch of four Galileo satellites during the fourth quarter of 2016, to be performed by a heavy-lift Ariane 5 ES vehicle. The six satellites deploying by these two missions will bring total spacecraft in the Galileo constellation to 18 by year-end.
Galileo's FOC phase is being funded and managed by the European Commission, which has designated the European Space Agency as the system's design and procurement agent.
Arianespace's most recent mission at the service of Galileo was Flight VS13, which utilized a Soyuz launcher to loft two of the navigation satellites last December. Prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany produces the Galileo FOC satellites.

Two Galileo satellites are "fit" for their Arianespace Soyuz launch in May

The Galileo satellites for Arianespace's Flight VS15 undergo their fit-check at the Spaceport.

The next two spacecraft to join Europe's Galileo global satellite navigation system have made their initial contact with launcher hardware at the Spaceport in French Guiana, continuing the preparations for their liftoff on an Arianespace Soyuz vehicle in May.   
                            
During activity in the Spaceport's S1A clean room facility, both spacecraft completed the initial "fit check" process, in which they were installed on the dispenser system that will deploy them in orbit during the May 24 flight.
The two FOC (Full Operational Capability) Galileo satellites were then removed, enabling their continued preparation and fueling. Prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany produces the Galileo FOC spacecraft.
Arianespace's mission with Soyuz – designated Flight VS15 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system – is an addition to the company's busy 2016 launch manifest, which foresees up to 12 launches with its medium-lift Soyuz, heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega vehicles.
Another Arianespace launch at the service of Galileo is planned this year, using an Ariane 5 ES vehicle to loft four additional Galileo satellites during the fourth quarter.  The six satellites deployed by Arianespace's two missions in 2016 will bring total spacecraft in the Galileo constellation to 18 by year-end.

Galileo satellites are fueled for Arianespace's next Soyuz mission

Preparations for Arianespace's next mission have moved into the fueling phase for the two Galileo navigation satellites that will be orbited by a medium-lift Soyuz later this month from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

Galileo Flight Model no. 10, named "Danielė" after a European student, is fueled at the Spaceport for Arianespace's May 24 mission with Soyuz.
 
As part of the process, Flight Model no. 10 in the series of Full Operational Capability (FOC) Galileo platforms has been "topped off" in the Spaceport's S3B clean payload preparation facility.
This satellite is named Danielė – continuing the practice of designating Galileo spacecraft after students who created space and aeronautics-related drawings that were sel ected by national juries in European Union member states.

 

Another Arianespace mission at the service of Europe

Arianespace's upcoming launch will loft this latest pair of Galileo satellites on May 23. In orbit, the spacecraft will join Europe's global navigation system, which is designed to ensure European independence in applications for businesses and citizens.
Galileo's FOC phase is funded and managed by the European Commission, which has designated the European Space Agency as the system's design and procurement agent. Prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany produces the Galileo FOC satellites.
Scheduled for May 24, this dual Galileo payload mission is designated Flight VS15 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system. It will be the 15th liftoff of the workhorse launcher fr om French Guiana since Soyuz' introduction at the Spaceport in 2011.
Flight VS15 is one of up to 12 Arianespace missions targeted for 2016 with the company's launcher family of the medium-lift Soyuz, heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega. So far this year, Arianespace has performed three launches: two with Ariane 5, and one utilizing Soyuz.

Payload integration begins for Arianespace's next Soyuz mission with Galileo spacecraft

The first of two Galileo navigation satellites to be orbited on Arianespace's May 24 Soyuz flight has been integrated on its payload dispenser system, marking a key step as preparations advance for this medium-lift mission from French Guiana.
                         
Named "Danielė," the spacecraft was installed this week during activity inside the Spaceport's S3B payload preparation facility. It is to be joined on the dispenser system by the mission's other passenger – "Alizée," whose own installation is forthcoming – in a side-by-side arrangement.

The pair – each named after children who won a European Commission-organized painting competition in 2011 – are then to be mated atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage and encapsulated in the protective payload fairing. Prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany produced the satellites, and their onboard payloads are supplied by UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) – which is 99-percent owned by Airbus Defence and Space.

Fregat is fueled in Arianespace's FCube facility for Soyuz Flight VS15

At the Spaceport, the Fregat upper stage for Soyuz Flight VS15 is transferred by road fr om the FCube facility – wh ere it was fueled – to the S3B clean room.

Arianespace's new Spaceport processing facility has fueled another Fregat stage. This upper stage for the medium-lift Soyuz launcher will be used for the May 24 flight from French Guiana with two European Galileo navigation satellites.
                            
Named the FCube (Fregat Fueling Facility), the purpose-built installation is utilized to "top off" Fregat upper stages during Soyuz launch campaigns at the Spaceport. In service since last year, the FCube supports Arianespace's sustained launch pace – giving the company greater flexibility in managing its mission manifest, while also increasing launch capacity with Soyuz and its other launch vehicle family members: the heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega.
Fregat upper stages are produced by NPO Lavochkin, a company that is part of the Soyuz launcher's Russian industrial team. Fregat serves as an autonomous upper stage enabling Soyuz to perform a full range of missions. During its processing in the FCube facility, Fregat was fueled with UDMH (unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine) and NTO (nitrogen tetroxide) storable propellants that are loaded into spherical tanks.
After its fueling in the FCube, the Fregat for Arianespace's Flight VS15 was transferred by road to the Spaceport's S3B clean room. At this facility, the upper stage will be integrated with passengers for this month's Soyuz mission: the latest two Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) spacecraft for Europe's satellite-based navigation system. This will create the "upper composite," which is protected by a payload fairing during the initial phase of flight through the atmosphere.

 

Fregat will deliver the Galileo satellites to a circular orbit

For Arianespace's May 24 mission, Fregat will perform a first burn, followed by a 3-plus hour ballistic phase. The Fregat will ignite its engine again to reach the circular orbit for separation of the two Galileo spacecraft – which will enter Orbital Plane A of the navigation satellite constellation.
Galileo's FOC phase is funded and managed by the European Commission, which has designated the European Space Agency as the system's design and procurement agent. OHB System in Bremen, Germany, is prime contractor, producing the Galileo FOC satellites. The satellites' navigation system is supplied by UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), which is 99% owned by Airbus Defence and Space.
Flight VS15 is one of up to 12 Arianespace missions targeted for 2016 with the company's complete launcher family. So far this year, Arianespace has performed three launches: two with Ariane 5, and one utilizing Soyuz.

Soyuz' "upper composite" is ready for next week's Arianespace dual-satellite Galileo mission

The payload assembly process is now complete for Arianespace's medium-lift Soyuz flight on May 24 fr om French Guiana, which is to orbit the 13th and 14th Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites at the service of Europe's Galileo navigation system.

Installed atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage, the two Galileo FOC satellites and their dispenser system are shown partially encapsulated by the two-piece protective payload fairing.
 
Performed yesterday in the Spaceport's S3B clean room facility, these preparations involved encapsulation of the two Galileo spacecraft and their dispenser system – which had been installed atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage the previous day. The encapsulation was carried out using a two-piece Soyuz-ST payload fairing, and was followed by the addition of mission logos.
This completed unit, called the "upper composite," will be mated atop Soyuz after the workhorse vehicle's rollout tomorrow from the MIK integration building – wh ere launcher assembly is handled – to the ELS launch zone.

 

Soyuz' latest mission for Europe

Scheduled for liftoff on May 24 at precisely 5:48:43 a.m. local time in French Guiana, Soyuz will carry out a nearly 3-hr., 48-min. mission from launch to separation of the two passengers.
Galileo is Europe's initiative for satellite navigation. Its complete operational and ground structure will be deployed during the FOC phase, which is managed and funded by the European Commission, with the European Space Agency (ESA) delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.
Prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany produced the satellites, and their onboard payloads are supplied by UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) – which is 99-percent owned by Airbus Defence and Space.

Soyuz reaches the launch zone for next week's Arianespace mission with Galileo satellites

Soyuz reaches the launch zone for next week's Arianespace mission with Galileo satellites                         
 Arianespace's medium-lift Soyuz is "standing tall" in French Guiana – and ready for payload integration – following its transfer to the workhorse vehicle's dedicated Spaceport launch complex earlier today.                           
                         
                            
With this rollout and the basic three-stage vehicle's subsequent vertical positioning over its launch pad, Soyuz marked another key step toward Arianespace's May 24 mission – which is to orbit the latest two FOC (Full Operational Capability) satellites for Europe's Galileo space-based navigation system.
In procedures that have become familiar at the Spaceport, Soyuz was moved via a transport/erector rail car in a horizontal-transfer process fr om the MIK launcher assembly facility to the ELS launch zone. Once over the launch pad, the vehicle was erected into a vertical orientation, wh ere it is suspended in place by four large support arms.
Following this step's completion, the mobile gantry was moved into position over the launcher – providing protection for the upcoming installation of Soyuz' "upper composite," which consists of the Galileo spacecraft and their dispenser system, plus the Fregat upper stage and payload fairing.

 

Supporting Europe's Galileo program

The May 24 flight's two passengers – built by OHB System, with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. supplying their navigation payloads – are the 13th and 14th FOC satellites in the Galileo program, which is creating a European-operated space-based navigation system.
Galileo's FOC phase – during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed – is managed and funded by the European Commission. The European Space Agency has been delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.
Designated VS15 in Arianespace's numbering system, next week's mission is scheduled to lift off at precisely 5:48:43 a.m. a.m. local time in French Guiana, with its Galileo satellite passengers to be deployed into a targeted circular orbit during a flight lasting approximately 3 hrs., 47 min.

Watch the launch of Galileo-13/14
 
 Europe takes its next step in creating its own navigation satellite constellation on Tuesday 24 May, with the launch of the 13th and 14th Galileo satellites.
 
 The pair is scheduled to lift off at 08:48:43 GMT (05:48:43 local time, 10:48:43 CEST) on 24 May from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana atop a Soyuz launcher.

 The first three stages of the Soyuz rocket take the Galileo satellites and their Fregat upper stage into low orbit just short of nine minutes after liftoff. Then the reignitable Fregat, as much a spacecraft as a rocket stage, then takes over the task of hauling the satellites higher through a pair of burns.
 The satellites will be released in opposite directions by their dispenser once they reach their target 22 522 km-altitude orbit at 3 h 48 min after launch.

 Streaming begins at 08:28 GMT (10:28 CEST) on 24  May for the liftoff, then resumes at 12:23 GMT (14:23 CEST) to cover the satellites' separation.

Одобрен пуск Союза 24 мая 2016 г.
http://www.arianespace.com/mission-update/arianespaces-soyuz-is-approved-for-its-early-morning-liftoff-on-may-24/

Soyuz                                        May 23, 2016                          
    Arianespace's Soyuz is approved for its early morning liftoff on May 24                         
    The Arianespace Soyuz mission that will further expand Europe's Galileo satellite navigation constellation has been authorized for tomorrow's launch from the Spaceport in French Guiana.                        
                         
                            

Soyuz has been cleared for Arianespace's May 24 liftoff with the latest two Galileo FOC (Full Operational Capability) satellites, which are contained in the "upper composite" – shown here during its integration atop the launcher.

 Approval for the early morning liftoff was given at the conclusion of today's Launch Readiness Review, which verified the "go" status of Soyuz, its two Galileo satellite passengers, the Spaceport's infrastructure and the network of downrange tracking stations.

The May 24 mission – designated VS15 in Arianespace's numbering system – will be performed from the Spaceport's purpose-built ELS launch facility for Soyuz. Liftoff is scheduled at precisely 5:48:43 a.m. local time in French Guiana, with the two Galileo spacecraft to be deployed during a flight sequence lasting approximately 3 hrs., 47 min.

Produced by OHB System, these relay platforms – which are the European constellation's 13th and 14th satellites for launch – weigh an estimated 714 kg. each and will operate in medium-Earth orbit. Their navigation payloads were supplied by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd., which is 99-percent owned by Airbus Defence and Space.

The Galileo navigation system provides highly accurate global positioning services under civilian control. The European Commission is funding and managing its FOC (Full Operational Capability) phase, during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed; with the European Space Agency designated as the system's design and procurement agent.

Tomorrow's launch will be the 15th mission from French Guiana for Arianespace's medium-lift Soyuz, as well as the company's fourth flight in 2016 with its three-vehicle launcher family – which is completed by the heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega.

РОСКОСМОС. РКН «СОЮЗ СТ-Б» УСПЕШНО СТАРТОВАЛА ИЗ ГКЦ
24.05.2016 12:00
 

   24 мая 2016 года в 11:48 мск из Гвианского космического центра (ГКЦ, Французская Гвиана) совместные расчеты российских и европейских специалистов успешно осуществили запуск российской ракеты-носителя (РН) «Союз СТ-Б» с разгонным блоком «Фрегат-МТ» и двумя европейскими космическими аппаратами (КА) Galileo FOC M5 («Галилео»).

    

   Через 9 минут после старта головной блок отделился от третьей ступени ракеты-носителя. Вывод космических аппаратов на целевую орбиту осуществляет разгонный блок «Фрегат-МТ». Отделение космических аппаратов от разгонного блока запланировано на 15:36 мск.

    

   Европейская глобальная система спутниковой навигации Galileo – аналог российской ГЛОНАСС и американской GPS; ее проект разработан Европейским космическим агентством (ЕКА) при поддержке ЕС.

    

   РН «Союз-СТ» разработана АО «РКЦ «Прогресс» для коммерческих запусков космических аппаратов с космодрома во Французской Гвиане. РН адаптирована к требованиям Гвианского космического центра в части безопасности, системы телеизмерений (передатчики, работающие в дециметровом диапазоне с европейской структурой кадра телеметрии) и условий эксплуатации (повышенная влажность, морская транспортировка и др.). РН «Союз-СТ» оснащена головным обтекателем типа СТ, он полностью соответствует международным требованиям, что в сочетании с использованием разгонного блока «Фрегат» позволяет обеспечивать выведение на орбиту самый широкий спектр полезных нагрузок.

    

   Разгонный блок «Фрегат-МТ» разработан НПО им. С.А. Лавочкина для выведения КА различного назначения. Разгонный блок позволяет существенно повысить энергетические и эксплуатационные характеристики РН. Использование блока «Фрегат-МТ» делает возможным выведение КА практически на любые заданные орбиты искусственных спутников Земли, а также на межпланетные траектории.

And yet it moves: 14 Galileo satellites now in orbit
24 May 2016
 Named for the astronomer who pinpointed Earth's true position in the Solar System, the Galileo satellite navigation system that will help Europe find its way in the 21st century now has 14 satellites in orbit after today's double launch.
 Galileos 13 and 14 lifted off together at 08:48 GMT (10:48 CEST, 05:48 local time) atop a Soyuz rocket from French Guiana.
 This seventh Galileo launch went by the book: the first three Soyuz stages placed the satellites safely into low orbit, after which their Fregat upper stage hauled them the rest of the way into their target medium-altitude orbit.
 The twin Galileos were deployed into orbit close to 23 522 km altitude, at 3 hours and 48 minutes after liftoff. The coming days will see a careful sequence of orbital fine-tuning to bring them to their final working orbit, followed by a testing phase so that they can join the working constellation later this year.

 
Galileo satellites atop Soyuz
 
 "Today's textbook launch has added two more satellites to what has become Europe's largest satellite constellation," commented Jan Woerner, Director General of ESA.
 "It was made possible by the fact that European industry's manufacturing and testing of Galileo satellites has achieved a steady tempo."
 "Today's launch brings Europe's Galileo constellation halfway to completion, in terms of numbers," remarked Paul Verhoef, ESA's Director of the Galileo Programme and Navigation-related Activities. 
 "It is also significant as Galileo's last flight by Soyuz this year before the first launch using a customised Ariane 5 to carry four rather than two satellites each time – which is set to occur this autumn. 
 
 
Galileos on dispenser
 
 "Meanwhile, hard work is proceeding behind the scenes to ensure the worldwide Galileo system, including its far-flung ground stations, is reliable, secure and robust for the start of operational services to users."
 About Galileo
 Galileo is Europe's civil global satellite navigation system. It will allow users worldwide to know their exact position in time and space with great precision and reliability. Once complete, the system will consist of 24 operational satellites and the ground infrastructure for the provision of positioning, navigation and timing services.
 The Galileo programme is funded and owned by the EU. The European Commission has the overall responsibility for the programme, managing and overseeing the implementation of all programme activities. 
 
 
Galileo satellite
 
 Galileo's deployment, the design and development of the new generation of systems and the technical development of infrastructure are entrusted to ESA. The definition, development and in-orbit validation phases were carried out by ESA, and co-funded by ESA and the European Commission.
 The European Global Navigation Satellite System Agency (GSA) is ensuring the uptake and security of Galileo. Galileo operations and provision of services will be entrusted to the GSA from 2017.

Пресс-релиз Arianespace
http://www.arianespace.com/press-release/arianespace-orbits-two-more-galileo-satellites/

Arianespace orbits two more Galileo satellites                         
    Arianespace has successfully launched the 13th and 14th satellites in the Galileo constellation for the European Commission's DG GROWTH (Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs), under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).                        
The company's second Soyuz launch of the year took place on May 24 at 5:48 am (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) in Kourou, French Guiana.
With this seventh Soyuz launch from CSG at the service of Galileo, the company has now orbited 14 satellites for the global navigation system. Before the end of 2016, Arianespace will launch four more Galileo satellites, using an Ariane 5 ES launch vehicle, enabling the system to offer its initial services.
Today's Soyuz success – the fourth launch overall in 2016 for Arianespace – marks the 250th launch from the Guiana Space Center with its family of launchers. This total, composed of 229 Ariane flights, 15 with Soyuz and six liftoffs of Vega, confirms Arianespace's operational performance over time for the benefit of all its clients.
 

Galileo, an emblematic European program

The European Commission's DG GROWTH oversees Galileo program definition and procurement, assigning this responsibility to the navigation directorate of the European Space Agency (ESA).
Europe initiated the Galileo program to develop a new global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Under civilian control, it will offer a guaranteed, high-precision positioning service, thereby freeing Europe from its current dependence on the American GPS system. The Galileo constellation will comprise 30 satellites, of which 14 already have been orbited by Arianespace (four IOV and 10 FOC).
Galileo is the first joint infrastructure produced and financed by the European Union, which will be the system owner. It features innovative technologies developed in Europe to benefit all citizens. The initial services offered by Galileo will be up and running by the end of this year, with full operational capacity expected in late 2020.

Galileo program milestones: [/li] 2005 & 2008: GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B experimental satellites launched from Baikonur by Soyuz (via Arianespace's Starsem affiliate). Oct. 2011: first Galileo IOV (In Orbit Validation) satellites, 1 and 2, launched on the initial Soyuz mission, VS01). Oct. 2012: Soyuz VS03 launch of Galileo IOV 3 and 4. Aug. 2014: first two Galileo FOC (Full Operational Capability) satellites, 5 and 6, launched by Soyuz. Despite injection into non-compliant orbit, ESA's staff were able to verify operability, then reposition the satellites so they could contribute to the constellation. March 2015: Galileo FOC satellites 7 and 8 orbited on VS11. Sept. 2015: Galileo FOC satellites 9 and 10 launched on VS12.

Flight VS15: demonstrating the flexibility of Arianespace's launcher family needed by European governments

Given the confirmed availability of satellites, the European Commission decided early in February 2016 to sustain the Galileo deployment rate reached in 2015 by adding this Soyuz launch (VS15) to the planned Ariane 5 ES launch in November, thus boosting six more satellites into orbit in 2016.
 Launch operations are being handled by Arianespace at the Guiana Space Center, under its contract with ESA. The launch comes just 29 days after the previous Soyuz mission (VS14), setting a new record for Soyuz operations in French Guiana. The previous record was 43 days between the VS08 and VS09 flights.
This responsiveness clearly shows that Arianespace's launcher family perfectly matches Europe's needs, as well as demonstrating the relevance of local investments such as FCube (the building dedicated to propellant loading for the upper stage of Soyuz), and the operational expertise of the European and Russian staff at the launch base.
 

Guaranteeing independent access to space for europe

Today's launch is the second of the year for Europe. The European Commission has 13 more satellites scheduled for launch by Arianespace, making it the company's biggest government customer. In the framework of contracts implemented by ESA, the upcoming launches will be:
 

[/li]
• 
  Deployment of the Copernicus program's space segment, with Sentinel-3B being orbited in 2017 by the Vega lightweight launcher;
  

[/li]
• 
  Continued deployment of the Galileo constellation, with three Ariane 5 ES heavy launchers being used to orbit 12 more satellites. The first of these missions is planned for November 2016; two others will follow in 2017 and 2018.
  

After today's mission – the 53rd for ESA – Arianespace will orbit three more spacecraft for ESA in 2017-2018: EDRS-C; BEPI-COLOMBO; and the iconic James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), within the scope of a partnership with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency.
 

Arianespace celebrates the 250th launch from the Guiana Space Center

250 launches of the Arianespace family have been operated from the Guiana Space Center, orbiting 456 satellites for 120 government and commercial customers. These 250 launches were divided among the three launchers in the Arianespace family: Ariane, Soyuz and Vega:
 

[/li]
• 229 with the Ariane heavy launcher: 11 by Ariane 1, 6 by Ariane 2, 11 by Ariane 3, 116 by Ariane 4 and 85 by Ariane 5.
• 15 with the Soyuz medium launcher, introduced at CSG in 2011.
• 6 with the Vega light launcher, first launched from CSG in 2012.
  

Shortly after the announcement of the orbital injection of the two Galileo satellites today, Stéphane Israël, Chairman and CEO of Arianespace, said: "As the benchmark launch services partner, Arianespace upholds its commitment to guaranteed independent access to space for Europe. This morning's launch, the seventh for Galileo from the Guiana Space Center and the second of the year for the European Commission and ESA, marks a further step towards European independence in satellite navigation. I would like to thank the European Union, especially the European Commission's DG GROWTH, as well as the European Space Agency – our direct customer for this launch, for continuing to entrust us with their satellites. I would also like to thank the State Space Corporation Roscosmos for its commitment to our partnership based on the Soyuz launcher, which once again proved its availability and versatility with today's launch. And of course my thanks go to CNES/CSG and to everybody at the space center, who continue to work alongside us to ensure our ongoing success. And kudos to everybody at Arianespace for this fourth success of the year, which also marks the 250th launch performed from the Guiana Space Center with our family of launchers."

The Galileo 13 and 14 satellites were built by prime contractor OHB System in Bremen, Germany, with the payloads supplied by UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), which is 99% owned by Airbus Defence and Space.
The two satellites weighed 714.7 and 714.9 kg at launch, and will be positioned in a circular medium Earth orbit (MEO), in Plane A, at an altitude of 23,522 km, with an inclination of 57.394 degrees.
 Their design life exceeds 12 years.

Я не в курсе откуда это требование по полуоси орбиты выведения, не связан с этими пусками. 
Но ничего сложного нет - аппаратам в любом случае маневрировать и для прихода в свои точки, и для обнуления ошибок выведения. В Галилео коррекции в течении 12 лет эксплуатации не предусмотрены, потому сложность всегда одна - точно "загнать" куда надо. Делать это исправляя 10 километров или 200 - разницы нет.

Могли. Если бы баки зачем-то сделали в 2 раза больше, чем нужно. Но они были именно такие, какие требовались (со всеми зазорами) для ввода в эксплуатацию и эксплуатации таких аппаратов в течении 12 лет. Потому никак, физика не позволяет.

Интересно. Как-то и не думал, что такое возможно. 
А их разве за эти 12 лет неоднородностями гравитационного поля и неоднородностями солнечного ветра/верхней атмосферы не утащит куда попало? Или все эти эволюции просчитаны и находятся в допустимых пределах? И что у них в таком случае через 12 лет с гарантированными зонами покрытия и мгновенной доступности?

Моя вина, неправильно выразил мысль. Имел в виду точность привода в точку, достигаемую в том числе и двигателями самого спутника.

Возможности по маневрированию прекрасно показали криво выведенные FOC FM1 и FM2, факт. Кстати, не так давно их опять включили. Планируют ввести в систему?

Вывод ошибочный. Запускать эти аппараты может далеко не "любой". Именно по этой причине еще годы назад "пролетели" варианты с РН, которыми можно было бы выводить еще дешевле, чем "Союзами" из Куру.

В любом случае, в первую очередь "продавливать" будут именно Ариан. Союз - вариант для подстраховки, если возникнут проблемы с выведением четвёрками. Не так ?

МОСКВА, 20 июн — РИА Новости. Санкции практически не отразились на сотрудничестве России и Франции в космической отрасли, заявил журналистам глава французского космического агентства (CNES) Жан-Ив ле Галль.
"Я не согласен с оценкой, что наши отношения изменились. У нас cуществует плотная программа сотрудничества, и в настоящий момент мы пожинаем плоды нашей совместной работы по запускам Союзов из Гвианского космического центра. Мы уже осуществили 15 пусков оттуда, и все замечательно. Есть перспектива последующих запусков оттуда европейских спутников системы Galileo", — сказал он.

А сколько, кстати? С ходу не нашел в википедиях информации о точности вывода.

Страница 2-16, последняя колонка

Это в общем случае.

Последняя колонка вроде как никакой не общий случай, а очень похоже на вполне конкретную орбиту Galileo. +-100 км по полуоси точность вывода для Фрегата (понятно, что и 3 сигма, и с большой перестраховкой, и вообще данные устарели и проч.).
