The Galileo system has been offering initial services since almost a year and the performances are great. Independent measurements and evaluation of the system show that the European system is currently the best satellite positioning system in the world.

Next 12 December an Ariane 5 from Kourou will launch 4 new Galileo satellites adding to the constellation which be completed next year.

This A&B roll shows the preparation of Galileo sat 19-22 in Kourou and includes an interview with Paul Verhoef, Director of Navigation Programmes, ESA in English, French, German and Dutch.
