Conversations in the sky: Galileo’s intersatellite links tested | ESA https://t.co/ErbGT3gLLP
Galileo currently relies on communication links between satellites and ground stations to exchange information. However, this means that a satellite must be visible in the sky for a ground station to make contact.
With intersatellite links, the new generation of Galileo satellites will be able to talk directly to one another in orbit, exchanging information on timing and location. This also means that if a specific satellite is not visible from the ground, a message can be sent to a different satellite and then passed on.

The eight remaining Galileo First Generation satellites are ready to be launched soon, after which a Second Generation (G2) of satellites will start joining the constellation, expected in 2026 with the Ariane 6 launcher.
ESA, as Galileo's design authority and system development prime, is working with European industry to develop the G2 satellites that will revolutionise the fleet with enhanced capabilities. G2 satellites will use electric propulsion and host a more powerful navigation antenna, more and even better atomic clocks and fully digital payloads.
