List of Galileo satellites
This is a list of past and present satellites of the Galileo navigation system.
Model of a Galileo satellite
As of August 2023, 28 Galileo (4 IOV "In Orbit Validation" and 24 FOC "Full Operational Capability") satellites have been launched. The 2 GIOVE prototype vehicles were retired in 2012, 23 satellites are operational, 1 is not available and 4 are currently not usable.
The remaining 10 FOC satellites have completed manufacturing and testing. They are currently in storage awaiting launch by Ariane 6.[1]
FOC satellites were awarded and built in several batches by OHB in Bremen, Germany, with the contribution of Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) in Guildford, United Kingdom.[2][3]
- Batch-1 consists of 14 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM1 to Galileo-FOC FM14)
- Batch-2 consists of 8 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM15 to Galileo-FOC FM22)
- Batch-3 consists of 12 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM23 to Galileo-FOC FM34)
In parallel to Batch-3's completion, the new Galileo Second Generation (G2G) satellites, featuring electric propulsion, enhanced navigation signals and capabilities, inter-satellite links and reconfigurability in space, in 2021 were in development by Thales Alenia Space (TAS) and Airbus Defence and Space, with their deployment expected to begin by late 2024.[2][4][5][6][7]
Satellites
Each satellite is named after a child that won the European Commission's Galileo drawing competition. One winner was selected from each member state of the European Union.[8]
