Galileo Launch 14

On 17 December 2025 at 02:01 a.m. local time (5:01 a.m. UTC, 6:01 a.m. CET), Arianespace launched a new pair of Galileo satellites aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The mission, designated VA266, was the fifth flight of Ariane 6, using the Ariane 62 configuration with two boosters.

Launch 14 (L14) is the first-ever Galileo launch on Ariane 6, further consolidating the launcher’s role in supporting the European Union’s flagship navigation system.
