The answer is very simple: There will be - no Soyuz test launches - from Kourou.... It's a proofed and robust rocket. There are already commercial customers booked for the first flight.. Otherwise P3-E would be on it.. ;-)

I would guess with the controversy regarding our 1296 MHz band operations and Galileo, we wouldn't be in good standing with the Galileo folks so looking for ride share opportunities would be out of the question???
I'm presuming the launches will be from the Russian launch site at Kourou ?
Given it's a new site and the Russian haven't launched from a tropical climate before I'd imagine there'd be some test launches first.
