The Galileo infrastructure will undergo a test preliminary to the introduction of new Galileo services which may cause degradation of performance and service interruption.

Preliminary to the introduction of new Galileo services, the Galileo infrastructure will undergo a test in the coming days for a duration estimated a week.

A degradation of performance and service interruption may occur – this is normal and anticipated.

This situation could cause disturbances for the user communities worldwide.

NAGUs (Navigation Advisory to Galileo Users) are issued to inform users and minimize impact on daily operations.

The Galileo Search and Rescue Forward Link Service will not be impacted, underlining the continued Commitment of the European Union to life-saving operations.

Information on further test developments will be provided as soon as available.
