Arianespaces third Soyuz mission from French Guiana and the companys seventh flight so far in 2012 with its Ariane 5 and Soyuz launchers successfully orbited two satellites today for the European Galileo navigation network. Lifting off at 3:15:01 p.m. local time, which was the planned precise moment of launch, the Russian-built Soyuz ST vehicle was put through its paces to deploy the pair of Galileo In-Orbit Validation spacecraft during a flight of just under 3 hrs. 45 min.
