Arianespace’s Soyuz launch vehicle is in the launch zone for a Thursday mission to launch satellites for Europe’s Galileo space-based navigation system. Arianespace will launch two satellites from French Guiana, it said Monday in a news release. The Galileo program will create a European-operated navigation system “providing highly accurate global positioning services through a constellation of 27 operational satellites and three reserves,” it said (http://bit.ly/1AsZHPp).
