I think FOC FM22 will not launched in this mission.There are some FOC's that do not yet have an assigned rocket yet.They are all assigned, 2x A5'sSo you are saying these are also assigned:per NSF Arianespace Schedule:2020:TBD - Galileo-FOC FM23, Galileo-FOC FM24 - TBD - KourouTBD - Galileo-FOC FM25, Galileo-FOC FM26 - TBD - Kourou

QuoteAriane 5 September 28, 2017Galileo satellites are readied for Flight VA240 in DecemberIn other activity at the Spaceport, the first two satellites for Arianespace’s Flight VA240 with Ariane 5 have begun their checkout. Targeted for a liftoff on December 12 carrying a quartet of Galileo navigation spacecraft, this mission will be performed on behalf of the European Commission under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).Arianespace already has launched 18 Galileo spacecraft, with four being deployed into medium Earth orbits on a previous Ariane 5 mission (Flight VA233 in November 2016), and the others lofted by seven medium-lift Soyuz vehicles carrying two satellites each.Galileo is designed to provide a European global satellite navigation system with precision positioning services under civilian control.http://www.arianespace.com/mission-update/ariane-5-mission-preps/

Ariane 5 October 24, 2017Four Galileo spacecraft are prepared for their December Ariane 5 launchPayload processing for Arianespace’s second Ariane 5 mission in support of Europe’s Galileo global navigation system has reached full speed, with all four satellites now at the Spaceport.Liftoff of Arianespace’s Ariane 5 with these satellites is targeted for December 12, coming after the heavy-lift workhorse’s previous flight at the service of Galileo, which successfully delivered four other spacecraft to medium-Earth circular orbit in November 2016.The upcoming mission is designated Flight VA240 in Arianespace’s launcher family numbering system, denoting the 240th performed with an Ariane-series vehicle from the Spaceport. It also will be the company’s 11th and final launch in 2017, closing out a busy year of space lift activity.A global navigation system for Europe As the latest mission carrying Galileo satellites, Flight VA240 is to be conducted on behalf of the European Commission under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA). Galileo is funded by the European Union, with overall responsibility for management and implementation held by the European Commission. ESA is assigned design and development of the new generation of systems and infrastructure.Arianespace already has launched a total of 18 Galileo spacecraft, including the four orbited by Ariane 5 in November 2016, plus the others lofted by seven preceding medium-lift Soyuz vehicles that carried two satellites each.
One of the latest-delivered Galileo satellites is removed from its protective shipping container inside the Spaceport’s S1A payload preparation facility.
I'll have to wave next time ;-) #Galileo #VA240
