Definition
Galileo is a civil-controlled European constellation orbiting at roughly 23,200 km in three planes. Its Open Service is free and interoperable with GPS on L1, and its signal design supports better multipath rejection. Galileo also offers navigation message authentication, which lets a receiver verify that the data it is using genuinely came from the satellites, an increasingly useful defence against spoofing in areas of known interference.
