On December 5, 2021, as part of the VS26 launch campaign, a Soyuz-ST-B launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage and two Galileo FOC spacecraft was launched. Of the 28 Galileo satellites already in Earth orbit, 14 were launched by Soyuz-2 launch vehicles between 2011 and 2016, and today two more spacecraft have been added to the satellite constellation.
This was the 8th launch using Soyuz launch vehicles in 2021 and the 37 launch of Soyuz from the French Guiana Spaceport.
All launches are carried out with the help of a Mobile Service Tower produced and installed by us at the French Guiana Spaceport in 2011.
