Soyuz rocket launches Galileo satellite
On 12 October 2012, at 20:15 CET, two Galileo satellites were launched from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana on board a Soyuz ST-B. All stages of the Soyuz worked as planned. The Fregat-MT upper stage delivered the satellites to their orbits, at an altitude of 23,200 kilometres, 3 hours and 45 minutes after lift-off.
