New Galileo Second Generation satellites are set to join the fleet, bringing the total to 16.
These additional satellites will support the long-term continuity and resilience of Europe’s satellite navigation services.

Galileo has achieved first-ever civil authenticated GNSS position using Signal Authentication Service (SAS).
On 16 September, five Galileo satellites encrypted one of their signal components, the E6-C signal at 1278.75 MHz, normally transmitted in the clear.
For the first time, a civil GNSS receiver was able to process authenticated navigation data and ranging measurements from at least four satellites simultaneously and compute an authenticated position fix.
#EUSST confirms with autonomous data from contributing sensors the fragmentation of space object CZ-6C (#100472) in orbit. The responsible EU SST Operations Centre is monitoring the evolution of the fragments generated. We will share +info as soon as we have it #EUSpace
The @EU_Commission, @esa, EUSPA, the SpaceRISE consortium and European industry partners have defined the next steps for the deployment of IRIS², Europe's future secure connectivity constellation.
As the provider of secure, user-oriented services, EUSPA will play a key role in delivering IRIS² services for governmental users, focusing on security accreditation, user needs and service management.
Galileo L14 Update
GSAT0234, one of the Galileo L14 satellites, entered into service on 23 July 2026. Following the entry into service of GSAT0233 in May 2026, the successful integration of GSAT0234 marks the full deployment of the L14 satellites within the Galileo constellation
The constellation will continue to expand in the coming months with the Launch 15 mission, further strengthening Galileo's global navigation capabilities.
Follow us to stay up to date on the next milestones and developments.
GSAT0234, currently positioned in a spare slot within the Galileo constellation, has successfully completed an extensive testing campaign which is now concluded. It is expected that GSAT0234 will enter into service within the next few weeks.
