Europe’s ninth and tenth Galileo satellites have started broadcasting working navigation messages.

Europe’s first decade of navigation satellites

Ten years ago today saw the launch of Europe’s very first navigation satellite. A decade of hard work later, more than a third of the Galileo constellation has followed it into orbit and a ground network sharpening the satnav system’s accuracy encompasses the globe.

Galileo’s dozen: 12 satellites now in orbit

The pace of deploying Europe’s own satellite navigation system continued to increase with today’s launch of the latest pair of Galileo satellites, doubling the number of satellites in space within nine months.
