With Galileo serving over five billion users around the world and EGNOS adopted in most European airports, ESA and its partners are hard at work to shape the future of satellite navigation.
Six Galileo First Generation satellites are ready to be launched by Ariane 6, and twelve Second Generation ones are under construction by European industry. ESA and its Member States are also working on adding a layer to Galileo in low Earth orbit, mapping Earth down to the millimetre, capturing an even larger share of the downstream market, bringing optical technology in the equation, navigating the Moon and beyond.
