Galileo (European GNSS)

Galileo is Europe’s global satellite navigation system, designed to provide accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services. Launched by the European Union, it operates similarly to the American GPS but offers improved precision, reliability, and availability, especially in urban areas and challenging environments. Galileo is intended for civilian use and aims to enhance various applications, including transportation, search and rescue, and agriculture. As a complement to other systems, it enhances user experience and fosters technological development while contributing to Europe’s independence in satellite navigation.
