FOC-M6 (Launch in autumn 2017, Ariane-5)• FM15-18 at OHB Bremen, under integration
Launch of GalileoIn coordination with the EC, an Ariane 5 will for the second time use a new payload dispenser to release four identical satellites into orbit in one go.Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana)Expected date: 9 August
This massive atomic clock failure can easily defer the launch into 2018 if root cause is not quickly hunted out...
Although its an issue, 6 out of 72 clocks is hardly massive.

Last Galileo leaves ESA’s Test Centre4 September 2017 The last of 22 Galileo satellites has departed ESA’s Test Centre in the Netherlands – concluding the single longest and largest scale test campaign in the establishment’s history. Cocooned in a protective container for its journey – equipped with air conditioning, temperature control and shock absorbers – the final Galileo satellite left the establishment by lorry on 24 August. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Navigation/Last_Galileo_leaves_ESA_s_Test_Centre

I think FOC FM22 will not launched in this mission.
