Galileo is the European Union's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), managed by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) with design and development by the European Space Agency (ESA). It provides highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning services under civilian control with improved positioning and timing information. Galileo offers various services, including an Open Service (OS) for mass-market use, a Search and Rescue (SAR) function, a High Accuracy Service (HAS), and a Public Regulated Service (PRS) for authorized users.

Pyxis receives signals from all four global GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou.
Airbus developed a coordinated production program to deliver all six Galileo G2 satellites in less than two years by leveraging manufacturing, integration, and testing expertise across Airbus sites in Backnang, Friedrichshafen, Madrid, Ottobrunn, and Toulouse.
The Full Operational Capability phase of the Galileo program is managed and funded by the European Union.
Airbus’ modular manufacturing approach for the Galileo G2 program will see three spacecraft produced in parallel at any one time.
Each Galileo G2 satellite will weigh above 2,000 kg and benefit from Airbus’ heritage of the Eurostar series of telecommunications satellites.
Taoglas supplied a GPS/GALILEO patch antenna and custom cable assemblies for Ireland's first satellite, EIRSAT-1.
Taoglas' GPS/GALILEO patch antenna was selected for its lightweight and low-volume characteristics while offering high gain and wide bandwidth.

Galileo navigation satellites were previously launched from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
The European Commission completed the launch contract in July and approved a European Space Agency proposal to use Falcon 9 to launch the Galileo satellites.
The proposed Falcon 9-launched Galileo satellites would augment the existing operational Galileo constellation and serve as on-orbit replacements if other satellites fail.
Discussions to use a non-European rocket such as Falcon 9 for Galileo launches occurred because of delays in Ariane 6, the retirement of Ariane 5, and the withdrawal of Soyuz following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
