Galileo FOC FM33-34

FM33 and FM34 complete the first generation of Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites, finalising the constellation originally planned to be deployed on Ariane 6.

The 14th operational Galileo launch and the first on Ariane 6. When the new rocket's development stretched beyond schedule, the final two pairs of FOC satellites were diverted to Falcon 9 in 2024; this mission returned Galileo to its intended European launch vehicle.
