A Russian Soyuz-ST carrier rocket was launched on Friday for the first time from the Kourou launch site in French Guiana.
The rocket is carrying two Galileo navigation system satellites, and is fitted with a radar transponder allowing its location to be monitored and controlled in flight.
The Soyuz-ST is a modification of the three-stage Soyuz-2 rocket with a Fregat booster adapted for launch in the conditions prevalent in Kourou where there is high heat and humidity.
