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.

Galileo Second Generation satellites featuring enhanced navigation signals and capabilities are in development with deployment expected to begin by the end of 2024.
The launch will increase the number of Galileo satellites in orbit from 26 to 28.
The European Galileo navigation system was created by the European Union through the European Space Agency and is operated by the European Union Agency for the Space Program.
Arianespace will launch two Galileo navigation satellites from Kourou in French Guiana aboard a Soyuz rocket on Thursday, 2021-12-02 (CET).
All OHB System-built Galileo satellites use products from RUAG Space.
RUAG Space delivered the mission antenna used to upload mission data for the Galileo satellites' onboard signal generators.
RUAG Space provided thermal insulation for the Galileo satellites that protects them from temperature differences of about 400 degrees Celsius between their sun-facing and cold sides.
About four hours into flight at an altitude of 23,0 m, the RUAG Space dispenser will deploy the Galileo satellites by firing a pyrotechnic separation system.
