Galileo L14 Update
GSAT0234, one of the Galileo L14 satellites, entered into service on 23 July 2026. Following the entry into service of GSAT0233 in May 2026, the successful integration of GSAT0234 marks the full deployment of the L14 satellites within the Galileo constellation

[🇪🇺 EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme @EU4Space]

The constellation will continue to expand in the coming months with the Launch 15 mission, further strengthening Galileo's global navigation capabilities.

Follow us to stay up to date on the next milestones and developments.

@EdgarHook @KubiliusA The satellites were launched from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

[Andrius Kubilius @KubiliusA]

Launch success with #Galileo SAT 33 & SAT 34! 👏 Congrats to all mission teams!

With these new satellites, we strengthen Europe’s global navigation services - delivering greater precision, reliability & autonomy in space.

Galileo is financed by the EU, managed by the @EU_Commission (@defis_eu), operated under the responsibility of EUSPA, and developed by @esa.

[🇪🇺 EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme @EU4Space]

EUSPA is now managing the two new Galileo satellites as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP).

The satellites were launched earlier this morning by @Arianespace and have now reached the holding point, with their solar panels successfully deployed.

[🇪🇺 EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme @EU4Space]

Galileo LEOP operations are among the most collaborative activities in the European space sector, including EUSPA, @Spaceopal, and @esa. By combining forces and expertise, we are unlocking the full potential of European Union GNSS and the wider EU Space Programme.
