Galileo (satellite navigation)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) currently beingbuilt by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA).
The €5 billion project[1] is named after the Italian astronomer GalileoGalilei. One of the aims of Galileo is to provide a high-precisionpositioning system upon which European nations can rely, independentlyfrom the Russian GLONASS, US GPS, Indian IRNSS system, andChinese Compass systems, which can be disabled in times of war or
conflict.[2]
When in operation, it will use two ground operations centres near Munichin Germany and in Fucino in Italy. In December 2010, EU ministers inBrussels voted Prague in the Czech Republic as the headquarters of theGalileo project.
On 21 October 2011, the first two of four operational satellites werelaunched to validate the system. The next two followed on 12 October 2012, making it "possible to test Galileo
end-to-end".[3] Once this In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase has been completed, additional satellites will belaunched to reach Initial Operational Capability (IOC) around mid-decade. Full completion of the 30-satellite
Galileo system (27 operational and three active spares) is expected by 2019.[4]
Basic navigation services will be free of charge. Galileo is intended to provide horizontal and vertical positionmeasurements within 1-metre precision, and better positioning services at high latitudes than other positioningsystems. As a further feature, Galileo will provide a unique global search and rescue (SAR) function. Satellites willbe equipped with a transponder which will relay distress signals from the user's transmitter to the Rescue Co-ordination Centre, which will then initiate the rescue operation. At the same time, the system will provide a signal tothe users, informing them that their situation has been detected and that help is on the way. This latter feature is newand is considered a major upgrade compared to the existing GPS and GLONASS navigation systems, which do
not provide feedback to the user.[5] The use of basic (low-precision) Galileo services will be free and open toeveryone. The high-precision capabilities will be available for paying commercial users and for military
use.[citation needed]

History
Main objectives
In 1999, the different concepts (from Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom) for Galileo were comparedand reduced to one by a joint team of engineers from all four countries. The first stage of the Galileo programmewas agreed upon officially on 26 May 2003 by the European Union and the European Space Agency.
The system is intended primarily for civilian use, unlike the more military-oriented systems of the United States(GPS), Russia (GLONASS), and China (Beidou-1/2, COMPASS). The US reserves the right to limit the signalstrength or precision of GPS, or to shut down public GPS access completely, so that only the US military and its
allies would be able to use it in time of conflict.[6] The European system will only be subject to shutdown for militarypurposes in extreme circumstances. It will be available at its full precision to both civil and military users.
Until 2000 the precision of the GPS signal available to non-US-military users was deliberately severely limited by atiming pulse distortion process known as selective availability, a feature removed from the most recent GPSsatellites.
Funding
The European Commission had some difficulty funding the project's next stage, after several allegedly "per annum"sales projection graphs for the project were exposed in November 2001 as "cumulative" projections (which foreach year projected, necessarily included all previous years of sales). The attention that was brought to this multi-
11/5/13 Galileo (satellite navigation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) 3/14
billion euro exponentially growing error in sales forecasts resulted in a general awareness in the Commission andelsewhere that it was unlikely that the program would yield the return on investment that had previously been
suggested to investors and decision-makers.[7]
Additionally, following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States Government wrote to the EuropeanUnion opposing the project, arguing that it would end the ability of the United States to shut down satellitenavigation in times of military operations. On 17 January 2002 a spokesman for the project stated that, as a result
of US pressure and economic difficulties, "Galileo is almost dead."[8]
A few months later, however, the situation changed dramatically. European Union member states decided it wasimportant to have a satellite-based positioning and timing infrastructure that the US could not easily turn off in times
of political conflict.[9]
The European Union and the European Space Agency agreed in March 2002 to fund the project, pending a reviewin 2003 (which was completed on 26 May 2003). The starting cost for the period ending in 2005 is estimated at€1.1 billion. The required satellites (the planned number is 30) will be launched between 2011 and 2014 and thesystem will be up and running and under civilian control from 2019. The final cost is estimated at €3 billion,including the infrastructure on Earth, which is to be constructed in 2006 and 2007. The plan was for privatecompanies and investors to invest at least two-thirds of the cost of implementation, with the EU and ESA dividingthe remaining cost. An encrypted higher-bandwidth Commercial Service with improved precision would beavailable at an extra cost, with the base Open Service freely available to anyone with a Galileo-compatible
receiver. Costs for the project have run 50% over initial estimates.[10]
Cooperation with the United States
In June 2004, in a signed agreement with the United States, the European Union agreed to switch to a modulationknown as BOC(1,1) (Binary Offset Carrier 1.1) allowing the coexistence of both GPS and Galileo, and the futurecombined use of both systems.
The European Union also agreed to address the "mutual concerns related to the protection of allied and U.S.
national security capabilities."[11]
First experimental satellites: GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B
The first experimental satellite, GIOVE-A, was launched in 2005 and was followed by a second test satellite,GIOVE-B, launched in 2008. Once this In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase has been completed, additional satelliteswill be launched. On 30 November 2007 the 27 EU transportation ministers involved reached an agreement that it
should be operational by 2013,[12] but later press releases suggest it was delayed to 2014.[13]
Funding again, governance issues
Early 2007, the EU had yet to decide how to pay for the system and the project was said to be "in deep crisis" due
to lack of more public funds.[14] German Transport Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee was particularly doubtful aboutthe consortium's ability to end the infighting at a time when only one testbed satellite had been successfully launched.
Although a decision was yet to be reached, on 13 July 2007[15] EU countries discussed cutting €548m ($755m,

Although a decision was yet to be reached, on 13 July 2007[15] EU countries discussed cutting €548m ($755m,£370m) from the union's competitiveness budget for the following year and shifting some of that cash to other partsof the financing pot, a move that could meet part of the cost of the union's Galileo satellite navigation system.European Union research and development projects could be scrapped to overcome a funding shortfall.
In November 2007, it was agreed to reallocate funds from the EU's agriculture and administration budgets[16] and
to soften the tendering process in order to invite more EU companies.[17]
In April 2008, the EU transport ministers approved the Galileo Implementation Regulation. This allowed the €3.4bn
to be released from the EU's agriculture and administration budgets.[18] This will allow the issuing of contracts tostart construction of the ground station and the satellites.
In June 2009, the European Court of Auditors published a report, pointing out governance issues, substantial delays
and budget overruns that led to project stalling in 2007, leading to further delays and failures.[19]
In October 2009, the European Commission cut the number of satellites from 28 to 22, with plans to order theremaining six at a later time. It also announced that the first OS, PRS and SoL signal will be available in 2013 andthe CS and SOL some time later. The current budget for the 2006–2013 period planned for €3.4 billion was also
considered as insufficient.[20] The think tank Open Europe has estimated the total cost of Galileo from start tocompletion, and then running it over a 20-year period, at a €22.2 billion, which will be borne entirely by taxpayers.Under the original estimates (from 2000) this cost would have been €7.7 billion, of which only €2.6 billion was to
be borne by taxpayers and the rest by private investors.[21]
In November 2009, a ground station for Galileo was inaugurated near Kourou (French Guiana).[22]
The launch of the first four in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites was planned for the second half of 2011, while thelaunch of full operational capability (FOC) satellites is planned to start in late 2012.
As of March 2010 it was verified that the budget for Galileo would only be available to provide the 4 IOV and 14
FOC satellites by 2014, with no funds currently committed to bring the constellation above this 60% capacity.[23]
Paul Verhoef, the then current satellite navigation program manager at the European Commission indicated that thislimited funding would have serious consequences commenting at one point "To give you an idea, that would meanthat for three weeks in the year you will not have satellite navigation" in reference to the currently proposed 18vehicle constellation.
In July 2010 the European Commission estimated further delays and additional costs of the project to grow up to€1.5-€1.7 billion and moved the estimated date of completion to 2018. After it's completed, the system will need to
be subsidised by governments at €750 million per year.[24] An additional €1.9 billion was planned to be spent
bringing the system up to the full complement of 30 satellites (27 operational + 3 active spares).[10][25]
In December 2010 EU ministers in Brussels voted Prague, in the Czech Republic, as the headquarters of the
Galileo project.[26] In January 2011, infrastructure costs up to 2020 were estimated at €5.3 billion. In that samemonth, Wikileaks revealed the opinion of Berry Smutny, the CEO of the German satellite company OHB-System.
He is quoted saying that Galileo "is a stupid idea that primarily serves French interests".[27] The BBC understood€500 million (£440M) would become available to make the extra purchase, taking Europe's version of GPS from
18 operational satellites in the next few years to 24.[28]

Galileo launch on a Soyuz
rocket, 21 October 2011
The first two Galileo In-Orbit Validation satellites were launched by Soyuz ST-
B flown from Guiana Space Centre on 21 October 2011,[29] and the remaining
two on 12 October 2012.[30]
All further satellites will have Full Operational Capability (FOC). 22 are now on
order, with the first due to be launched in 2013.[31]
International involvement
In September 2003, China joined the Galileo project. China was to invest€230 million (US$302 million, GBP 155 million, CNY 2.34 billion) in the
project over the following years.[32]
In July 2004, Israel signed an agreement with the EU to become a partner in the
Galileo project.[33]
On 3 June 2005 the EU and Ukraine signed an agreement for Ukraine to join
the project, as noted in a press release.[34]
As of November 2005, Morocco also joined the programme.
On 12 January 2006, South Korea joined the programme.
In November 2006, China opted instead to independently develop the Beidou navigation system satellite navigation
system.[35] When Galileo was viewed as a private-sector development with public-sector financial participation,European Commission program managers sought Chinese participation in pursuit of Chinese cash in the short termand privileged access to China's market for positioning and timing applications in the longer term. However, due tosecurity and technology-independence policy from European Commission, China was, in effect, dis-invited fromGalileo and without a return of its monetary investment, a decision that was reinforced by China's move to build itsown global system, called Beidou/Compass. At the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit on 10 March, a Chinesegovernment official asked the European Commission why it no longer wanted to work with China, and when
China's cash investment in Galileo would be returned.[36]
On 30 November 2007, the 27 member states of the European Union unanimously agreed to move forward withthe project, with plans for bases in Germany and Italy. Spain did not approve during the initial vote, but approved itlater that day. This greatly improves the viability of the Galileo project: "The EU's executive had previously said that
if agreement was not reached by January 2008, the long-troubled project would essentially be dead."[37]
On 3 April 2009, Norway too joined the programme pledging €68.9 million toward development costs andallowing its companies to bid for the construction contracts. Norway, while not a member of the EU, is a member
of ESA.[38]
Political implications of Galileo project
Tension with the United States
11/5/13 Galileo (satellite navigation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) 6/14
Letter from Paul Wolfowitz to the
Ministers of the EU states from
December 2001 as part of the US-
lobbying campaign against Galileo
Galileo is intended to be an EU civilian GNSS that allows all users accessto it. GPS is a US military GNSS that provides location signals that havehigh precision to US military users, while also providing less preciselocation signals to others. The GPS had the capability to block the"civilian" signals while still being able to use the "military" signal (M-band).A primary motivation for the Galileo project was European concern thatthe US could deny others access to GPS during political
disagreements.[9]
Since Galileo was designed to provide the highest possible precision(greater than GPS) to anyone, the US was concerned that an enemycould use Galileo signals in military strikes against the US and its allies(some weapons like missiles use GNSS systems for guidance). Thefrequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible forthe US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with their ownGPS signals. The US did not want to lose their GNSS capability withGPS while denying enemies the use of GNSS. Some US officials became
especially concerned when Chinese interest in Galileo was reported.[39]
An anonymous European official claimed that the US officials implied thatthey might consider shooting down Galileo satellites in the event of amajor conflict in which Galileo was used in attacks against American
forces.[40] The EU's stance is that Galileo is a neutral technology,available to all countries and everyone. At first, EU officials did not wantto change their original plans for Galileo, but have since reached acompromise, that Galileo was to use a different frequency. This allowed the blocking/jamming of one GNSS systemwithout affecting the other, giving the US a greater advantage in conflicts in which it has the electronic warfare upper
hand.[41] However, the frequency difference also makes it possible to jam GPS without affecting Galileo.
GPS and Galileo
One of the reasons given for developing Galileo as an independent system was that position information from GPScan be made significantly inaccurate by the deliberate application of universal Selective Availability (SA) by the USmilitary; this was enabled until 2000, and can be re-enabled at any time. GPS is widely used worldwide for civilianapplications; Galileo's proponents argued that civil infrastructure, including aeroplane navigation and landing, shouldnot rely solely upon a system with this vulnerability.
On 2 May 2000, SA was disabled by the President of the United States, Bill Clinton; in late 2001 the entity
managing the GPS confirmed that they did not intend to enable selective availability ever again.[42] Though SelectiveAvailability capability still exists, on 19 September 2007 the US Department of Defense announced that newer
GPS satellites would not be capable of implementing Selective Availability;[43] the wave of Block IIF satelliteslaunched in 2009, and all subsequent GPS satellites, do not support SA. As old satellites are replaced in the GPSBlock IIIA program, SA will cease to be an option. The modernisation programme also contains standardisedfeatures that allow GPS III and Galileo systems to inter-operate, allowing receivers to be developed to utilise GPSand Galileo together to create an even more precise GNSS system.

Services
The Galileo system will have five main services:
Open access navigation
This will be available without charge for use by anyone with
appropriate mass-market equipment; simple timing, and
positioning down to 1 metre.
Commercial navigation (encrypted)
High precision to the centimetre; guaranteed service for which
service providers will charge fees.
Safety of life navigationOpen service; for applications where guaranteed precision is essential. Integrity messages will warn of errors.
Public regulated navigation (encrypted)
Continuous availability even if other services are disabled in time of crisis; Government agencies will be main
users.
Search and rescue
System will pick up distress beacon locations; feasible to send feedback, e.g. confirming help is on its way.
Other secondary services will also be available.
The concept
Each satellite will have two rubidium atomic clocks and two passive hydrogen maser atomic clocks, critical to anysatellite-navigation system, and a number of other components. The clocks will provide an accurate timing signal toallow a receiver to calculate the time that it takes the signal to reach it. This information is used to calculate theposition of the receiver by trilaterating the difference in received signals from multiple satellites.

Satellite system
11/5/13 Galileo (satellite navigation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) 8/14
GIOVE-A was successfully
launched 28 December 2005.
Galileo satellite test beds: GIOVE
In 2004 the Galileo System Test Bed Version 1 (GSTB-V1) project validatedthe on-ground algorithms for Orbit Determination and Time Synchronisation(OD&TS). This project, led by ESA and European Satellite NavigationIndustries, has provided industry with fundamental knowledge to develop the
mission segment of the Galileo positioning system.[44]
GIOVE-A is the first GIOVE (Galileo In-Orbit Validation Element) test
satellite. It was built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), and
successfully launched on 28 December 2005 by the European Space
Agency and the Galileo Joint. Operation of GIOVE-A ensured that Galileo
meets the frequency-filing allocation and reservation requirements for the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU), a process that was required to be complete by June 2006.
GIOVE-B, built by Astrium and Thales Alenia Space, has a more advanced payload than GIOVE-A. It was
successfully launched on 27 April 2008 at 22:16 UTC (4.16 am Baikonur time) aboard a Soyuz-FG/Fregat
rocket provided by Starsem.
A third satellite, GIOVE-A2, was originally planned to be built by SSTL for launch in the second half of 2008.[45]
Construction of GIOVE-A2 was terminated due to the successful launch and in-orbit operation of GIOVE-B.
The GIOVE Mission[46][47] segment operated by European Satellite Navigation Industries is exploiting theGIOVE-A/B satellites to provide experimental results based on real data to be used for risk mitigation for the IOVsatellites that will follow on from the testbeds. ESA organised the global network of ground stations to collect themeasurements of GIOVE-A/B with the use of the GETR receivers for further systematic study. GETR receivers aresupplied by Septentrio as well as the first Galileo navigation receivers to be used to test the functioning of thesystem at further stages of its deployment. Signal analysis of GIOVE-A/B data has confirmed successful operationof all the Galileo signals with the tracking performance as expected.
In-Orbit Validation (IOV) satellites
These testbed satellites were followed by four IOV Galileo satellites that are much closer to the final Galileo satellitedesign. The Search & Rescue feature is not installed. The first two satellites were launched on 21 October 2011
from Guiana Space Centre using a Soyuz launcher,[48] the other two on 12 October 2012.[49] This enables keyvalidation tests, since earth-based receivers such as those in cars and phones need to "see" a minimum of four
satellites in order to calculate their position in three dimensions.[49] Those 4 IOV Galileo satellites were constructedby Astrium GmbH and Thales Alenia Space. Once this In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase has been completed, theremaining satellites will be installed to reach the Full Operational Capability.
Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites
On 7 January 2010, it was announced that the contract to build the first 14 FOC satellites was awarded to OHBSystem and Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL). Fourteen satellites will be built at a cost of €566M
(£510M; $811M).[50] Arianespace will launch the satellites for a cost of €397M (£358M; $569M). The European
11/5/13 Galileo (satellite navigation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) 9/14
Commission also announced that the €85 million contract for system support covering industrial services requiredby ESA for integration and validation of the Galileo system had been awarded to Thales Alenia Space. ThalesAlenia Space subcontract performances to Astrium GmbH and security to Thales Communications.
In February 2012, an additional order of eight satellites was awarded to OHB Systems for €250M ($327M), after
outbidding EADS Astrium tender offer. Thus bringing the total to 22 FOC satellites.[51]
Science projects, coins, satellites' names
Science projects using Galileo
In July 2006 an international consortium of universities and research institutions embarked on a study of potential
scientific applications of the Galileo constellation. This project, named GEO6,[52] is a broad study oriented to thegeneral scientific community, aiming to define and implement new applications of Galileo.
Among the various GNSS users identified by the Galileo Joint Undertaking,[53] the GEO6,[54] project addressesthe Scientific User Community (UC).
The GEO6[55] project aims at fostering possible novel applications within the scientific UC of GNSS signals, andparticularly of Galileo.
The AGILE[56] project is an EU-funded project devoted to the study of the technical and commercial aspects oflocation-based services (LBS). It includes technical analysis of the benefits brought by Galileo (and EGNOS) andstudies the hybridisation of Galileo with other positioning technologies (network-based, WLAN, etc.). Within theseproject, some pilot prototypes were implemented and demonstrated.
On the basis of the potential number of users, potential revenues for Galileo Operating Company or Concessionaire(GOC), international relevance, and level of innovation, a set of Priority Applications (PA) will be selected by theconsortium and developed within the time-frame of the same project.
These applications will help to increase and optimise the use of the EGNOS services and the opportunities offeredby the Galileo Signal Test-Bed (GSTB-V2) and the Galileo (IOV) phase.
Coins
The European Satellite Navigation project was selected as the main motif of a very high value collectors' coin: theAustrian European Satellite Navigation commemorative coin, minted on 1 March 2006. The coin has a silver ringand gold-brown niobium "pill". In the reverse, the niobium portion depicts navigation satellites orbiting the Earth.The ring shows different modes of transport, an aeroplane, a car, a container ship, a train and a lorry, for whichsatellite navigation was developed.
Satellite names
The first satellites bear the names of eleven-year-old Thijs from Belgium and nine-year-old Natalia from Bulgaria,who are the first winners of the European Commission's Galileo children's drawing competition. Competition
winners from the remaining 28 member states will name the satellites which will be launched until 2019.[57]
