Summary
Galileo L7 (FOC FM10-FM11) launched on an Arianespace Soyuz STB Fregat from Soyuz Launch Complex, Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana on May 24, 2016. It was Arianespace's 244th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 5,559th orbital launch attempt. It was the 8th Soyuz STB Fregat flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). GalileoSat-14, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 23,550 × 23,573 km orbit inclined 57.4°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, 2 of them payloads.

About this launch
The 9th and 10th Full Operational Capability satellites will be the 13th and 14th Galileo satellites launched, alongside the 8 FOC and 4 IOV spacecraft already in orbit. The Galileo constellation is ESA's satellite navigation system and is expected to be completed by 2020. Galileo will provide Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.
