Chasqui-1 CubeSat deployment from ISS on August 18 after 1400 GMT - live TV coverage http://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/15/chasqui-1-deployment-from-iss/
Galileo GPS system enters system deployment phase - downlink 1260-1300 MHz
Galileo SATs 5-6 are scheduled to lift off at 12:31 GMT (14:31 CEST, 09:31 local time) on 21 August from Kourou on top of a Soyuz rocket. They are expected to become operational, after initial in-orbit testing, in autumn.
The two satellites will join the four Galileo 'in-orbit validation' satellites already in space. Launched in pairs in October 2011 and October 2012, these four satellites - the minimum required to obtain a position fix - served to demonstrate and validate the space and ground segments of the system.
Galileo SATs 7-8 are scheduled to follow end of year 2014. Then the constellation will be gradually deployed with six to eight satellites launched per year using a series of Soyuz and Ariane launches from Kourou, along with remaining elements of the ground network. http://www.esa.int/For_Media/Press_Releases/Call_for_Media_Press_briefing_on...
