I note that the Galileo IOV-1/Fregat-MT passed over Europe while the Fregat was still burning. I cannot remember a previous occasion when a spacecraft was still in its initial boost phase when it reached Europe. Is this geometry unique for the Galileo IOV/Fregat-MT missions, so that it will only happen once more? Or does anyone want to guess if this will be a regular feature of Soyuz launches out of the CSG? Presumably there's a chance that some launches might be visible from Europe during boost? And where does the second stage land? Mid- Atlantic I assume, but just checking.
