GALILEO The European Satellite Navigation System

1) What is Galileo2) The Galileo Program3) Services and Applications4) International Cooperation

1) What is Galileo Galileo is the European satellite

navigation system

Satellite systems are used in many fields like traffic, banking, timing (sciences) and surveying

Because of political and economical reasons the EU decided to build up an own satellite system

In this project the ESA (European Space Agency), the European Commission and the European space industry are involved

GALILEO – The European Satellite Navigation System

Definition phase (2000 - 2002) Definition of the basic elements of Galileo A number of projects and comprehensive studies have

contributed to this phase

Development and validation phase (2002 - 2005) system components like satellites, ground components,

user receivers, etc. are developed First prototype satellites are putted in the orbit

Deployment (2005 - 2008) and operational (2008 onwards) phase

All satellites are launched Galileo operated from 2008

2) The Galileo Program

4.1) Services

Five services were definedThese services are provided worldwide

1. The Open Service free of user charge, provides position and timing performances

2. The Safety of Life Serviceimproves the open service performances

3. The Commercial Serviceimproved accuracy, service guarantee are provided

4. The Public Regulated Servicefor users requiring a high continuity of service

5. The Search and Rescue Service

4.2) Applications Car navigation

Vehicle fleet management (e.g. taxis, trucks, buses)

Airplanes (e.g. airplane guidance)

Railway

Surveying (more precise than GPS)

Etc.

5) International Cooperation EU and USA work together to make Galileo and GPS

interoperable

Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein take part in this project

Discussions are taking place with East European countries.

Canada is involved in the studies

Australia, Israel and a number of Asian and African countries have also shown their interest in Galileo
