"Two Galileo satellites have been blasted into the wrong orbit, red-faced 
officials at the European Space Agency said today.

Errant sats Doresa and Milena were launched on a Russian-built Soyuz rocket on 
Friday. But launch service outfit Arianespace admitted that the satellites 
failed to go into the correct orbit."
