The European global navigation satellite system now counts 14 satellites in orbit thanks to the successful launch of Galileo 13 and 14 on board a Soyuz.
After a 3 hours and 47 minutes flight after launch, two new Galileo satellites are in orbit. Even if the constellation of 30 satellites will not be fully in orbit before 2018, the Galileo 11 and 12 will allow to the European Commission to start Galileo services by end 2016.
