Explanation
The Galileo Project is the European Union’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), a multi-satellite programme designed to provide highly accurate positioning, navigation and timing services under civilian control. It is owned and overseen by the European Commission and implemented with the European Space Agency and the EU Agency for the Space Programme; services include Open Service, Public Regulated Service, Search and Rescue and High Accuracy Service, intended for broad civilian and commercial use worldwide [2]. The system is interoperable with other GNSS and relies on a constellation of satellites plus ground infrastructure to deliver global navigation capabilities and European strategic autonomy in positioning services [3].
