Arianespace plans to send two new European Galileo navigation satellites to space tonight (Dec. 2) and you will be able to watch it live online.

An Arianespace Soyuz rocket will launch two navigation satellites into orbit at 7:27 p.m.

The European Space Agency will also webcast the launch on its ESAWeb TV stream.

The nearly six-year-old constellation serves 2.3 billion users around the world, Arianespace said in launch documentation.

Arianespace will use a Soyuz rocket produced by the Progress Space Rocket Center, which is a part of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

This is the fourteenth time this partnership aimed to send a Galileo mission to space, Arianespace said.

The mission is being performed for the European Space Agency (ESA), on behalf of the European Commission, to bring "strategic autonomy and sovereignty to the EU [European Union] citizens and its member states," Arianespace said of the mission.

Arianespace plans six more Galileo satellites in the coming years using Soyuz and a next-generation rocket Ariane 6 version known as Ariane 62!

Tonight's mission, known as Galileo FOC-M9, will be the 61st mission launched by Arianespace on behalf of ESA and will carry the 83rd and 84th satellites for the partnership.
