Received the first signal of Galileo satellite
The satellite locating Giove A of Galileo satellite system in Europe worked very well and gave the first signals on January 12 The pioneering satellite in Europe's Galileo satellite navigation system sent The first positioning signal for a ground-based station located in England and Belgium on 12-1.
The British-built Giove-A satellite was launched on October 28 from Baikonur space airport in Kazakhstan. This is the first satellite of the Galileo satellite system to be launched into space, supposedly helping Europe compete with the US global positioning satellite (GPS) system.
Giove-A is currently in orbit above the Earth about 23,000 km.
' The first signals of the Giove-A signal a new era for positioning technology ,' said expert Francis Tuffy.
Just hours after the satellite was launched, engineers at the satellite technology center began to activate it and ensure it was fully operational.
With the Galileo satellite program, Europe will build for itself a satellite navigation system capable of providing effective tools for governments to monitor roads; reinforce Europe's air traffic control system, helping aircraft to keep a safe distance and allowing pilots to fly on the right track and height.
On January 12, Korea became the latest non-European country to sign up to support the Galileo satellite program, along with China, Israel and Ukraine.
