Galileo: Europe's Revolutionary Satellite Navigation Program

The video discusses the Galileo satellite navigation program, a joint initiative by the European Space Agency and the European Union. It outlines the program's phases, including the test bed and in-orbit validation phases, and highlights the benefits of Galileo, such as improved search and rescue operations and compatibility with existing systems like GPS and GLONASS. The video also introduces EGNOS, a precursor to Galileo, which enhances positioning accuracy. Overall, the program aims to provide a reliable, civilian-controlled navigation system, marking a significant achievement for Europe's independence.

How does the Galileo system differ from the American GPS and Russian GLONASS?
