Europe's first two Galileo satellite-navigation spacecraft are ready for launch.
The platforms passed a key technical review at the weekend, paving the way for their flight to orbit on a Russian Soyuz rocket on 20 October.
One satellite has already made the journey to the launch complex in French Guiana; the second will ship this week.
