Galileo (satellite navigation system)

Galileo is a global satellite navigation system developed by the European Union to provide precise positioning and timing information worldwide. It consists of a constellation of satellites orbiting Earth, transmitting signals that receivers on the ground use to determine their exact location, speed, and time. Galileo offers high accuracy, reliability, and security, supporting applications like navigation, emergency services, and scientific research. It operates independently but can also work alongside other systems like GPS, enhancing overall positioning performance and robustness for users globally.
