By Peter Gutierrez. ESA has completed the first-ever, end-to-end testing of the Galileo system, demonstrating acquisition of an improved version of the Public Regulated Service (PRS) signal. ESA calls the Galileo PRS the most secure and robust class of Galileo services.
A GPS is considered to be a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) — meaning it is a satellite navigation system with global coverage. As of 2020, there are two fully operational global navigation satellite systems: the U.S. navigation signal timing and ranging (NAVSTAR) GPS and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).
The US and Russia provide the two global satellite navigation systems now available. A third system, Galileo, being built and operated in Europe, is due to come on line early in the next decade. The three systems will be fully interoperable, which means that users on will be able to determine a position by picking up signals from any combination of satellites belonging to any of the three systems.
The Galileo satellite is a 700 kg/1600 W class satellite. Galileo. The image shows an artist's impression of a Galileo spacecraft in orbit with solar arrays deployed. The spacecraft rotates about its Earth-pointing axis so that the flat surface of the solar arrays always faces the Sun to collect maximum solar energy.
Operational satellites The complete Galileo constellation will comprise satellites spread evenly around three orbital planes inclined at an angle of 56 degrees to the equator. Each satellite will take about 14 hours to orbit the Earth. One satellite in each plane will be a spare, on stand-by should any operational satellite fail. From most locations, six to eight satellites will always be
It's important to note that Galileo is supposed to be fully operational by the end of 2020, with a total of 30 satellites in the constellation. Satellites 27 and 28 were put into orbit in early 2022 and were operational after significant testing that same year. They are far more accurate than previous Galileo satellites. Jtc7Txl.
