Question: Do you have payloads for the French Guiana flights? Le Gall: One is Galileo, the other one will be the second Pleiades satellite for CNES, and the third one, we still have to see what we will put on it.

German space hardware manufacturer OHB AG on May 10 said it had signed a contract with the German Aerospace Center, DLR, for the definition phase of Germany’s Heinrich Hertz telecommunications technology-demonstration satellite, which is now scheduled for launch in 2016.
Notwithstanding these concerns, integration of the OHB-built Galileo satellites, including the Ampac-supplied propulsion modules, is on schedule to deliver the first satellite by late this year, with a launch of the first two spacecraft scheduled for March 2013, according to OHB’s Robert Simonovic.
If I am not mistaken, the original agreement between Arianespace and TsSKB was only for 14 Soyuz launches from CSG.However, there are more than 20 Soyuz launch campaigns listed on this page. Could someone enlight us?
The contract implies additional order of 10 Soyuz-ST’sand relevant support for the period up to 2016. Some launches of the Russian rocket will serve for deployment of European navigation system Galileo. Totally, 24 Soyuzes are to fly from French Guiana, including those ordered today.
