European Union Galileo

The European Union's Galileo is a global navigation satellite system, similar to the American GPS or Russian GLONASS, designed to provide highly accurate positioning and timing information worldwide. It consists of a network of satellites orbiting Earth that transmit signals to receivers, enabling precise location detection for navigation, transportation, emergency services, and various industries. Developed to reduce dependence on foreign systems and improve accuracy and security within Europe, Galileo enhances global positioning services, supporting both civil and commercial applications with high reliability and resilience.
