MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 05th December, 2021) A Russian Soyuz-ST-B carrier rocket with two Galileo satellites has successfully taken off from the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana.
The launch was originally scheduled for December 2, but had to be postponed because of bad weather conditions.
