Teltarif explains the problems of the Galileo project very clearly in this article. It is not only about how the two satellites ended up in the wrong orbit, but also where the fundamental problems of this billion-euro money pit lie. Final quote:
Politicians should therefore ask themselves whether it might not be wise to pause once more, look at what has already been achieved and consider whether the remaining objectives could be achieved more cheaply through a new tender. Ultimately, it does not matter who supplies the satellites or who launches them. What matters is that the EU ultimately has 100 percent control over the satellites!
