The European Galileo navigation system has two more satellites in orbit following their launch in the early morning of Sunday, April 28. With 30 satellites now in orbit, Galileo is expanding its constellation, increasing the reliability, robustness and, ultimately, the precision, benefiting billions of users worldwide. Credit: ESA–P.
Many strategic sectors depend on it: already 10% of the EU’s yearly GDP relies on satellite navigation and this is set to increase. From finding our way, to supporting Search and Rescue activities and providing ultra-precise timestamps for all kinds of institutional and commercial applications, Galileo is integral to our everyday lives.
This launch is taking place only a few days after the new Public Regulated Service signals started to be broadcast. This encrypted navigation service is specifically designed for authorized governmental users and sensitive applications, contributing to increase Europe’s autonomy and resilience in the critical domain of satellite navigation.
