Europe has deployed two new Galileo satellites within its constellation, adding to the existing 26 operational satellites in orbit. The entry into service of satellites 27 and 28 follows an exhaustive 2022 testing campaign. In a recent communication, the European Space agency (ESA) said the new deployment will result in a measurable increase in positioning accuracy and improved overall performance of the Galileo system.

The European Space Agency’s new navigation head, Francisco-Javier Benedicto Ruiz, has a lot to say about GNSS, both present and future. We recently spoke with him about his views on satellite navigation, signal vulnerability and authentication, and the agency’s working relationship, or not, with Russia. The technical team behind the Galileo authentication service and industry representatives developing alternative positioning, navigation and timing solutions also share insights.
