GIOVE B on shaker

The GIOVE-B navigation satellite successfully completed its first year in orbit in April 2010. This mission has enabled engineers to carry out the necessary in-orbit tests of the new technologies required for Galileo and lead the way for a navigation system that is vital to both Europe’s economic and technological future. The first constellation satellites built by EADS Astrium will be launched in 2011 and will be another major milestone in the buildup of the satellite constellation.
