Utilising current and new Galileo Services for 3D Surveys Status of Galileo

Status of Galileo
Galileo has made significant progress in recent years: twenty-six Galileo satellites are in-orbit, a significant part of the supporting ground station infrastructure has been deployed, the European Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has assumed the role of the Galileo Service Provider, various new Galileo services are being tested, and the 2nd generation of the system is already under definition.
To support Galileo’s service phase, a service facility called the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC) was established. The centre plays an important role in the Galileo service provision as it permits EUSPA to independently monitor the performance of the services delivered to users, and serves as the door through which European Union (EU) Member States (MS) can contribute to these tasks.
