GPS Notes
Galileo calls home
May 8, 2008
Giove-B, the test satellite for Europe's Galileo global positioning system, has sent back its first navigation signals.
The Giove-B satellite carries the most accurate clock ever sent into orbit, and this means that the system is capable of providing location information accurate down to a meter.
The 30-strong Galileo fleet is intended to be fully operational by 2013.
