Galileo satellite engineering model platform integration tests completed   The Galileo in-orbit verification engineering model satellite platform, showing the power subsystem undergoing testing at Thales Alenia Space, Rome.   The Galileo in-orbit verification engineering model satellite payload undergoing integration at EADS Astrium, Portsmouth, UK. Four in-orbit verification satellites     The Galileo in-orbit verification engineering model satellite payload undergoing testing at EADS Astrium, Portsmouth, UK.   Antennas for the Galileo in-orbit verification engineering model satellite under test in the anechoic chamber at EADS Astrium, Portsmouth, UK. The chamber is lined with materials that absorb the radiation emitted by the antennas, simulating space conditions.   The antennas are mounted on a structure that holds them in the same positions as they will occupy when mounted on the satellite.
