From the article:
"Two fully operational satellites, which were intended to become a part of Europe's Galileo global positioning system, were launched into incorrect orbits this weekend. "
"Officials from Arianespace, the company charged with launching the satellites, initially thought everything was done correctly. But according to the Wall Street Journal, two hours after launch it became clear that the two new additions to the Galileo network were in an elliptical, rather than a circular, orbit."
