Navigation dual satellite (GSAT0225 & GSAT0227) in the European constellation Galileo.
Galileo is the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that went live in 2016, created by the
European Union (EU) through the European Union Agency for Space Programme (EUSPA),
headquartered in Prague in the Czech Republic with two ground operations centers,
Oberpfaffenhofen (DLR GfR) in Germany and Fucino in Italy. DLR GfR mbH is a core team
member of the Galileo Service Operator (GSOp), operating and managing the constellation of
the Galileo satellites from the Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen (GCC-D).
GfR has been selected, for taking over the preparation and execution of LEOP operations from
launch. Galileo L12 launch is planned for April 28th 2024. GfR has contracted the German Space
Operation Center (GSOC) to provide Network Operation Center (NOC) service, including
Ground Station Network (GSN).

Planned LEOP support from SSC is for a period of 30 days with start on May 14th, 2024.

One week until launch and neither ESA nor EUSPA/EU make any report about it.
All the information here are been gathered from various good sources (one of them on site). thanks  :)
But what's the problem to making an official announcement? What is secret?

Might it be simple matter of discomfiture over the launcher churn for these satellites?
Working for SX could be exhilarating, as long as the job description doesn't include Master PERT Chart.

Does anyone have an approximate launch time?
Another FCC filing for LEOP support

Also, what are the official nicknames for the satellites?  Is Patrick still official for FM25?  And what about FM27?

So that means that FM25 and FM27 will be aboard rather then FM25 & FM26?

I'm looking forward to some official explanation of Galileo launch #12 GSAT0226→GSAT0227 replacement (still got no reply from EUSPA, maybe I should not have been mentioning three specific hypotheses: lost, broken, or too secret).

Having supported Starlink 6-53, launching to the southeast, SpaceX recovery ship Bob appears to be heading northeast to recover the fairing for the upcoming Galileo mission.

The booster is expected to be expended.

Yes, probably, but without the war a Soyuz would have been used for L12, as before for L11.
A Soyuz was planned for L13 anyway, according to Arianespace, published in January 2022(!)
And what is the difference to the Falcon 9 launches with Euclid and Earthcare?

...

Also, what are the official nicknames for the satellites?  Is Patrick still official for FM25?  And what about FM27?

FM23 was Patrick and, according to my logic, still is.
https://www.ohb.de/en/news/2019/first-galileo-batch-3-payload-patrick-reached-ohb
Patrick Galvin is the winner for United Kingdom in the 2011 Drawing Competition. So long before Brexit.
The last one, because U is way back in the alphabet. Order by country name in local language, I believe.
Only then will the winners of the 2019 competition come: Nikolina (Croatia), Shriya (Norway) and Julina (Switzerland)

Someone at EUSPA has a different logic (at the bottom of the page) and has pushed Patrick back or even removed him.
https://www.gsc-europa.eu/system-service-status/orbital-and-technical-parameters

So launch 11 was the first without nickname on satellite label, because nobody understands it.
