Receivers key to Galileo success
Europe's navigation system requires new receiver designs to make use of the transmissions from its satellite constellation. European industry is developing and supplying receivers for the in-orbit validation of the system. View More (2006-10-27)
Galileo Concession: shortlisting to proceed
The Galileo Joint Undertaking is officially issuing a first invitation to tender for the Galileo Concession. The invitation is published today in the Official Journal of the European Union and on the GJU website. The Joint Undertaking, based in Brussels and established by the European Commission and the European Space Agency, will then be able to shortlist undertakings or consortia bidding to...

Icy Jupiter Moon Throws a Curve Ball at Formation Theories
Scientists studying data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft have found that Jupiter's moon Amalthea is a pile of icy rubble less dense than water. Scientists expected moons closer to the planet to be rocky and not icy. The finding shakes up long-held theories of how moons form around giant planets. View More (2005-06-01)
ESA welcomes setting-up of Galileo Joint Undertaking
The appointment of Rainer Grohe as Director of the Galileo Joint Undertaking marks a further key step forward for Galileo, the first civil global satellite navigation programme. “I am delighted at Rainer Grohe’s appointment to manage the first Joint Undertaking established by the European Space Agency and the European Commission”, said Antonio Rodot' , ESA’s Director...

Galileo becomes a reality for Europe
ESA PR 33-2003. The European Space Agency is now able to finalise the conditions for participation in the Galileo navigation programme and to approve the Galileo Joint Undertaking foundation act to be soon signed by ESA and the European Union. The agreement reached among ESA member states today clears the way for the official launch of the legal entity which will have the task of coordinating... View More (2003-05-26)
ESA welcomes conclusions of the Barcelona European council on Galileo
"Space can do a lot for European citizens. Our global satellite navigation system Galileo is now only a step away from taking wing and fly high", said Antonio Rodot' , the Director General of the European Space Agency, welcoming the conclusions of the European Council held on 15 and 16 March in Barcelona, and echoing the appreciation expressed by the ESA Council, the governing body of the...

Galileo didn't invent thermometer that bears his name
The great Italian scientist Galileo may have been the first person to use a telescope to observe the heavens, helping spark the scientific revolution of the 16th century, but Galileo definitely did not invent the famous thermometer and captivating curiosity that bears his name. That's the message of an article in ACS' Journal of Chemical Education. View More (2012-09-06)
Galileo's notebooks may reveal secrets of new planet
Galileo knew he had discovered a new planet in 1613, 234 years before its official discovery date, according to a new theory by a University of Melbourne physicist. View More (2009-07-09)
Galileo: contracts for the first satellites
The contracts for the first Galileo satellites were signed on Friday 11 July at ESTEC, the European Space Agency's research and technology centre. "Galileo is taking shape with every passing day. These first contracts are symbolic of Europe's collective resolve to develop the first civil global satellite navigation system", stated Claudio Mastracci, ESA Director of Application Programmes. The... View More (2003-07-11)
Galileo moves forward
The GalileoSat development and in-orbit validation phase is well under way and the European Space Agency (ESA) has just released its procurement process to Industry indicating that the first completely civil satellite navigation system is moving forward. Galileo Implementation: a phased approach The Galileo Programme is being implemented in three phases: Definition phase Development and... View More (2004-07-19)
Small gems in space
A combination of small satellites can, with innovative methods, use the signals of the navigation satellite systems GPS and Galileo to significantly improve remote sensing of the System Earth. View More (2009-09-21)
Galileo gets the go-ahead
The European Space Agency warmly welcomes the decision taken today by the European Union Transport Ministers, meeting in Brussels. Galileo has now been given the official go-ahead but for ESA that simply means that work on Galileo can continue! ESA teams have already been working for a number of years on satellite navigation systems, including the development of critical technologies such as... View More (2002-03-26)
Looking through Galileo's eyes
In 1609, exactly four centuries ago, Galileo revolutionised humankind's understanding of our position in the Universe when he used a telescope for the first time to study the heavens, which saw him sketching radical new views of the moon and discovering the satellites orbiting Jupiter.

ESA is helping to make road transport more effective
Space is the usual business of a space agency, so it may come as a surprise that the European Space Agency (ESA) is giving some attention to road transport. The agency is designing and building the satellites that will make up the space segment of Galileo, Europe`s own global satellite navigation system. When Galileo becomes fully operational in 2008, road vehicles fitted with special receivers... View More (2002-10-02)
Digital avalanche rescue dog
A novel geolocation system makes use of signals from Galileo, the future European satellite navigation system, to locate avalanche victims carrying an avalanche transceiver or a cellphone, to the precision of a few centimeters. View More (2009-12-10)
Helium rain on Jupiter
When NASA's Galileo probe reached Jupiter in 1995 and began sending back data about the gas giant, astronomers were in for a surprise: Jupiter was unusually poor in helium and neon, the two lightest noble gases. View More (2010-03-23)
