A Friday, Dec. 3, launch attempt was scrubbed due to lightning risks.Read our complete story on the launch here.The Russian-built Soyuz rocket will release the two Galileo FOC-M9 (23-24) satellites into orbit from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana. VS26 will raise Galileos overall fleet to 28 satellites and it continues with tomorrows flights onboard Soyuz and Ariane 62 to finish the first-generation implementation, beginning with 6 extra Galileo FOC satellites, over the next years.Galileo FOC-M9 will be the 61st mission (83rd and 84th satellites) to be released by Arianespace for ESA.Galileo FOC-M9 will be the 23rd and 24th FOC satellites to be launched by Arianespace for the European Commission.Thanks to Galileo FOC-M9, Arianespace has introduced 150 objectives (180 satellites) for European institutions.OHB, prime specialist of Galileo, is a dependent partner of Arianespace: Galileo FOC-M9 will be the 26th and 27th OHB satellites introduced by Arianespace.Rocket launch on Sunday: Atlas V releasing STP-3A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket will introduce the Space Test Program 3 mission for the U.S. military and NASA early Sunday, Dec. 5, and you can enjoy it live.
