Galileo navigation satellite, artwork
Galileo navigation satellites. Artwork of navigation satellites for the European Galileo satellite navigation network in orbit about the Earth, transmitting data for position (latitude and longitude) and elevation (height above sea level). Galileo will consist of 30 satellites orbiting over 23, 000 kilometres above the Earth. It will be used for car, train and aircraft guidance, rescue services, and road use taxation. Solar panels (blue) provide power for each satellite. The Galileo network is scheduled to begin operating by 2014

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Galileo navigation satellite, a crucial component of the European Galileo satellite navigation network. The satellites are depicted orbiting gracefully around our planet Earth, transmitting vital data for accurate positioning and elevation measurements. With a fleet of 30 satellites positioned over 23,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, Galileo is set to revolutionize various industries including transportation and rescue services. The illustration highlights the advanced technology behind these satellites, with each one equipped with solar panels that provide essential power. The planned completion of this ambitious project by 2014 signifies a significant milestone in space exploration and communication. Galileo's impact will be far-reaching as it offers precise guidance for cars, trains, aircrafts while also aiding rescue missions and facilitating road use taxation systems. This comprehensive navigation network promises to enhance safety and efficiency across multiple sectors without mentioning any commercial applications. As we venture further into the 21st century, space flight advancements like Galileo continue to shape our understanding of the universe while providing practical solutions here on Earth. Science Photo Library captures this extraordinary moment in time through their stunning visual representation of this technological marvel from ESA (European Space Agency).
