Abstract The involvement of the French Space Agency in GALILEO Launch and Early in Orbit Phase (LEOP) operations dates from 2006. This involvement has required the development of an organization that is able to answer to the mission requirements taking into account operations recurrence and taking full advantage of the partnership between the French Space Agency (CNES) and the European Space Operations Center Teams (ESOC). The implementation of this organization at flight dynamics level has been set up for the first GALILEO launch in 2011 and, then, improved launch after launch. The objective of this chapter is to give an overview of the way CNES Flight Dynamics operations are organized after 9 years and four launch campaigns taking as illustration the fourth launch. After a general description of GALILEO LEOP concepts, the CNES Flight Dynamics team organization will be detailed and then illustrated in the light of the Flight Dynamics operations performed for the 4th launch, from preparation to the end of execution.
