„GALILEO“ NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Galileo je globalni navigacijski satelitski sustav (GNSS) razvijan i financiran od strane Europske Unije (EU) kroz Europsku Svemirsku Agenciju (ESA). Projekt vrijedan 10 bilijuna eura dobio je ime po poznatom talijanskom astronomu, znanstveniku i fizičaru Galileu Galileju. Europska unija, razvojem vlastitog navigacijskog sustava želi svojem stanovništvu pružiti sustav navigacije tako da se više ne bi morali oslanjati na ruski GLONASS (GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema), kineski BeiDou ili američki GPS (Global Positioning System), sustave navigacije koje njihovi operateri mogu ugasiti u bilo kojem trenutku. Sa svojom mrežom od 30 satelita u orbiti, Galileo će pružati usluge lociranja sigurnije, bolje i točnije od svojih konkurenata. Kada postane potpuno operabilan, Galileo će nuditi do sada nevjerojatne usluge točnosti lociranja i vremena te će imati primjenu u mnogim poljima života.Galileo is a global navigation satellite system developed and funded by the European Union (EU) through the European Space Agency (ESA). A project worth 10 billion euros has been named after the famous Italian astronomer, scientist and physicist Galileo Galilei. The European Union, by developing its own navigation system, wants to provide its population with a navigation system so that they no longer have to rely on Russian GLONASS (GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema), Chinese BeiDou or US GPS (Global Positioning System), navigation systems that their operators can turn off at any time. With its 30 satellites in orbit, Galileo will provide location services safer, better and more accurate than its competitors. When it becomes fully operable, Galileo will offer incredibly accurate location and time services and will have its application in many areas of life
