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.
