EUSPA’s 2024–2025 Galileo User Satisfaction Survey shows outstanding results, with 95% satisfaction for the Open Service and 94% for the High Accuracy Service. 

Ever wondered if your receiver is leveraging Galileo's advanced capabilities? The European GNSS Service Centre provides regularly updated lists of Galileo-enabled receivers to  help users make informed decisions about their technology.

The soon-to-be launched Galileo OSNMA, a data authentication function provides more robust Position, Velocity and Time information to Galileo Open Service users. It will be freely accessible worldwide on 24 July.

A pioneering GNSS receiver has successfully tracked Galileo and GPS signals and computed on board the Navigation Solution during lunar orbit and on the moon surface. This revolutionary mission proved that Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals can be acquired, tracked and even used for positioning on the Moon!

The Galileo Open Service (OS), the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) and the Full Operational Capability Search and Rescue (SAR) Service Performance Reports for Q1 2025 have been published.

The Galileo Service Centre has launched a dedicated web section for users to request access to space radiation data from the Norwegian Radiation Monitor (NORM) onboard the Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission (ASBM).

A group of Canadian scientists at the University of New Brunswick has become the first to make use of Galileo’s High Accuracy Service (HAS) in Antarctica to create ultra-precise 3D maps of underwater terrain in a place with no RTK networks or Internet.

Having a Galileo-enabled phone provides the advantage of more satellite signals for calculating your position. With the Galileo constellation now having a significant number of operational satellites (in particular, 27 satellites are operational and contributing to service provision) along with GPS and other GNSS, your device can achieve better location accuracy and faster fixes, especially in challenging urban environments where signals can be obstructed.

The European Union’s Galileo satellite navigation system has recently undergone rigorous testing aimed at assessing in depth its integrity, continuity and accuracy. We are pleased to report that the testing campaign was successful, with all services and parameters restored back to their nominal ranges within the planned timeframe.

The Galileo test is now fully completed and all services are back at their nominal capacity. There are no plans for this test to be repeated in the future. We thank the Galileo users worldwide for their understanding and patience during this period and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
