Galileo (European Union)

Galileo is the European Union's global navigation satellite system, designed to provide accurate positioning and timing information worldwide. It operates independently of other systems like GPS and enhances precision for various applications, from navigation to search and rescue operations. Galileo aims to improve safety and reliability for users, especially in Europe, by offering better accuracy and availability, particularly in challenging environments. With a constellation of satellites orbiting the Earth, Galileo is crucial for modern technologies, including smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and scientific research, helping us navigate the world more efficiently and safely.
