On 17 December, two Galileo satellites will be launched on an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana in the 14th launch of operational satellites for the Galileo programme. This will be Galileo’s first launch on Ariane 6 and the fifth launch of Europe’s heavy-lift launcher.
 
The two Galileo satellites, designated SAT 33 and SAT 34, will improve the robustness of Galileo, Europe's satellite navigation system, by adding spares to the constellation to guarantee it can provide 24/7 navigation to billions of users. They will join the constellation in medium Earth orbit 23 222 km above Earth’s surface.
