Current Goal

The European Galileo project's first demonstrator spacecraft was launched on 28 December and to celebrate this I would like this coin to travel to the USA where GPS all began and remain there until Galileo becomes fully operational in 2010, and then makes it way back to the UK

About This Item

Galileo Project EU Coin

What is Galileo?

Galileo will be a global network of 30 satellites providing precise timing and location information to users on the ground and in the air. It is costing some 3.4bn euros (£2.3bn; $4bn) of public and private investment and represents the biggest space project yet undertaken in Europe.

Galileo's first demonstrator spacecraft was launched on 28 December; a second platform will follow in the New Year. They will trial the in-orbit technologies needed to run the system. These include atomic clocks, the heart of any global positioning system.

If all goes according to plan, a full constellation of Galileo satellites will be in operation by the end of 2010.
