GALILEO is the joint project of the European Commission and the European Space Agency to deploy a new infrastructure based on a 30-satellite constellation, to provide positioning and timing services.

 Currently there are two radio navigation satellites in the world: American (GPS) and Russian (Glonass). Both were designed as military systems, but the GALILEO system appears to offer the only real alternative to the American system.

 EGNOS, which has been developed since 1993, offers major improvements to the services offered in Europe by the GPS and Glonass satellite constellations. EGNOS increases the number of GPS signals, applies a differential correction, adds an integrity message and is also set to be incorporated into GALILEO.

The GALILEO system will provide a high level of performance to users worldwide, even in places where there is no ground infrastructure.

 The GALILEO system has already created 140,000 jobs and, with a cost equivalent to 150km of semi-urban motorway, will generate a market estimated to have a value of €9 billion per year.
