Soyuz launch of two Galileo satellites, Dec 2015 (ESA) A Soyuz rocket placed two Galileo navigation satellites into orbit Thursday. The Soyuz launched from Kourou, French Guiana, at 6:51 am EST (1151 GMT) on a mission to deploy the Galileo Full Operational Capability 11 and 12 satellites. The Fregat upper stage deployed the two satellites into their planned orbit nearly four hours later.
