Europe's two latest Galileo navigation satellites touched down today at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, ready for their joint launch this summer.
Packed safely within protective and environmentally controlled containers, the satellites were carried across the Atlantic aboard a 747 cargo carrier.
Manufactured by OHB in Bremen, Germany, with navigation payloads contributed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd in Guildford, UK, these satellites - the first of 22 full-capability models - had spent several months at ESA's Technical Centre, ESTEC, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, where they underwent exhaustive testing in simulated space conditions.
